What the petition asks
It is unfair that supply teachers and other school supply staff are out of pocket during the pandemic. They are just as important as other school staff and play a key role in educating the future generation.
Having to pay other employment costs means many agencies simply cannot afford to furlough supply teachers anymore, leaving many agency staff with no income.
Something needs to be done. Either the Government must increase furlough payments for agency staff to cover all employment costs, or a separate scheme established to pay agency staff directly for lost income.
