To understand why we think this, we need to do two things. Firstly, we need to look more closely at where precarious work is concentrated and understand who the casualised staff are. Secondly, we need to understand the impact that it has on teaching staff and on their work. This report is the first to provide evidence, from casualised staff themselves, showing the real costs of employing staff on precarious contracts.

  • 1 Inside the 'Black Box': Ten Theses on Employment Services in Britain Ian
    1 Inside the ‘Black Box’: Ten theses on Employment Services in Britain Ian Greer, Lisa Schulte, and Graham Symon Paper presented at the University of Greenwich, June 2014 Summary This report presents initial findings on the UK from a project funded by the Hans-Boeckler-Foundation on the marketisation of employment services in the UK, Germany, and Denmark. We present findings from interviews with front-line staff, managers, claimants groups, and trade unionists, as well as publicly available statistics and reports. We convey what is distinctive about the UK by developing ten theses on the so-called ‘Black Box’, the UK’s highly centralised and privatized approach to organizing services. The Black Box is privatized but keeps marketisation within strict limits. The Black Box involves centralised and contracted-out government contracting. One result is the outsourcing of the DWP’s relations with the voluntary sector and local government to the private sector. The Black Box repackages the risk of policy failure as a financial risk, to be managed with an eye to profitability. The Black Box is dominated by a few ‘prime contractors’, for which scale and scope are advantages. This kind of contracting requires both access to capital and large-scale management capacity. Most organizations in the Black Box operate in a volatile market segment of subcontractors, where contract termination is more common for public and nonprofit providers than for for- profit providers. The Black Box matters for the character of services. It contains strong tendencies toward creaming and parking, despite minimum service requirements and differential pricing. Performance management by the prime contractors is tight and sophisticated.

  • Transport Policy Statement for Students Aged16-18 in Further Education and Continuing Students Aged 19 and Over
    Local Authority Transport Partnership Policy Statement 2014/15 Transport policy statement for students aged16-18 in further education and continuing students aged 19 and over Department Responsible: Children Adults & Families 1. Summary of Policy Statement and Main Objectives (this section should give an overview/statement of intent of what the LA’s transport policy is and what the subsequent desired outcomes are). This policy statement sets out the way in which South Tyneside Council has decided to exercise its powers and duties in relation to the provision of school and college transport for learners aged 16-19 in accordance with Section 509 of the Education Act 1996, as amended by Section 83 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006. The policy seeks to ensure that no South Tyneside learner is prevented from continuing in further education due to lack of transport provision or lack of financial support with transport costs. It outlines the provision of transport schemes and assistance for post 16 learners who live and study in South Tyneside or those learners who live in South Tyneside and attend an educational establishment outside of the Borough if it is the nearest provider offering the appropriate course. This document sets out the current policy of South Tyneside Council, which it should be noted could be subject to change in the future. Therefore, this policy does not amount to a legitimate expectation that any service currently offered will continue to be offered. This policy is based on the following key principles: • The promotion of increased independence and social inclusion of young people, recognising the context of their age and ability.
