<p>Schools and local authorities are responsible for the recruitment of their supply
teachers and deciding whether to use private supply agencies to recruit and employ
supply teachers. If a supply teacher is employed by a private agency, this is a private
commercial arrangement between the school and the agency.</p><p>The Department for
Education is not responsible for the regulation of teacher supply agencies or their
umbrella organisations. Teacher supply agencies are regulated by the Department for
Business, Innovation and Skills under the employment agency provisions in the Employment
Agencies Act 1973 and the Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses
Regulations 2003.</p>
