Examples include instructor or volunteer. Is it “only” HTs judgement on skills, experience, expertise, insurance and Child protection?
For anyone who is not a teacher undertaking ‘specified’ work to a higher level, especially where this includes delivery of lessons to whole classes, it is strongly recommended that the headteacher should have regard to the standards for HLTAs. Schools would need to ensure its insurance policies adequately cover staff for any activities they are being asked to undertake. Where schools buy insurance from the LEA, the Authority may need to examine its insurance policies to ensure they cover what is required. On Health and Safety grounds schools need to follow guidelines from the LEA. The headteacher will need to ensure that the standard checks for anybody working in a school are carried out. Further details are available in paragraph 32 of the S133 regulations and information on pre-appointment checks cab be found in DfES guidance ref: DfES/0278/2002.
