The reviewed Dumfries and Galloway process places several staffing steps before open recruitment.
04Partly established
Recruitment · Probationers · Permanency
Who gets access to teaching jobs?
Where do probationers, redeployment, permanency applicants, temporary teachers and open recruitment sit in local staffing processes?
What the reviewed evidence establishes
What we know.
A recruitment document can establish one part of a process without establishing the whole upstream allocation order.
Eligibility, vacancy access and actual appointment need to be reported separately.
Evidence boundary
What this does not establish.
- A published process does not prove the outcome of a particular application.
- The research does not yet provide a fully verified, current sequence for all 32 councils.
