When temporary work continues after a contract ends
What records would establish whether continuing educational need is being repeatedly filled through temporary arrangements?
What the reviewed evidence establishes
What we know.
A teacher can cover multiple absences and multiple teachers can occupy one continuing role, so both post and worker histories matter.
The reviewed pack did not verify a longitudinal case proving deliberate post recycling to prevent permanence.
Evidence boundary
What this does not establish.
- No persistent-post dataset was obtained in the reviewed pack.
- The absence of a proved case does not establish that the practice never occurs.
Original evidence
Check the sources.
Source notes state what was reviewed and the qualification that should remain attached when the material is cited.

Renfrewshire Council / JNC
Eligibility, application, vacancy and hours provisions; PDF pp. 3–5
What this source can and cannot establish

LNCT 24: use of temporary contracts for teaching staff
Highland Council / LNCT
Transfer and continuity provisions; PDF pp. 3–4
What this source can and cannot establish
A right to request, assessment, hours offered and an actual permanent placement are separate events.
