The department does not set pay, terms or conditions for non-teaching staff in schools. Employers have the freedom to make their own decisions according to their circumstances. Most schools follow the local government green book which sets out pay and conditions, and employers are required to pay at least the statutory minimum wage.
We cannot comment on individual cases, but the government has been consistently clear that we do not accept the inappropriate use by any employer of ‘fire and rehire’ as a negotiation tactic.
When employment disputes arise, the government wants to ensure that employers and employees are able to resolve them quickly and effectively. Last year, we asked the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) to produce comprehensive, clear guidance so that employers can explore all the options before considering ‘fire and rehire’, and to encourage good employment relations practice. This guidance was published on 11 November and is available here: http://www.acas.org.uk/changecontract.

Local authorities are responsible for making best use of their social work resource, including ensuring social workers have manageable workloads and receive effective support and supervision.
The annual Social Work Health Check is a key element of the Local Government Association’s Standards for Employers and provides a national picture of social work across adult social care. Findings for the 2017/18 Health Check, which was completed by 51% of councils and three National Health Service trusts, were encouraging, with most reporting they had effective workforce planning, safe workloads and case load allocation. We are working with the Local Government Association and the sector to refresh the Standards to ensure they apply equally to all settings in which social workers are employed and to extend the Health Check to children’s social care.
Social Work England is consulting on new rules and professional standards as it prepares to become the specialist regulator for social work, ensuring that promotion of the highest standards for safe and effective practice is the heart of its role.
