McKinnell: Why we're extending our flexible-working programme

Writing exclusively for TES, the minister for school standards says the government wants every school to offer flexible working and it is providing funding to make it happen.

Capita, funded by the Department for Education (DfE), are delivering a programme to promote flexible working practices in Multi-Academy Trusts and schools, which includes a series of free training and support webinars.

Webinar and resource topics will include, amongst others:

• Implementing flexible working

• Best-practice and case studies

• Diversity in the workforce

• Co-leadership and job sharing

In partnership with Flexible Teacher Talent and Flexible Working Ambassador Multi-Academy Trusts and Schools (FWAMS), we will deliver a programme to increase the awareness of the types of flexible working and provide information, advice and guidance to implement flexible working successfully.
