What does Quality Mark mean?
The QM award demonstrates that agencies and local authorities have met a national standard by operating a robust recruitment selection and vetting process when engaging supply teachers. In doing so it gives increased confidence to schools, parents and pupils that staff supplied through them are recruited in line with the DCSF guidance and current legislation requirements.
The Quality Mark scheme sets 19 standards covering the way that supply teachers are recruited, selected and supplied to schools.
To achieve QM status applicants undergo a rigorous application process including a comprehensive on site audit. A further audit is carried out every two years to offer continued assurance that standards are being maintained.
