Fair Work in teaching
How do documented teaching-employment arrangements sit alongside Scotland’s Fair Work framework?
What the reviewed evidence establishes
What we know.
Fair Work First guidance includes criteria relating to inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts, workforce development and effective voice.
Published commitments and actual employment practice are different evidence questions.
Evidence boundary
What this does not establish.
- The framework is not itself a finding that a named council has breached employment law.
- The research has not completed a national council-by-council Fair Work audit.
