DfE searching for flexible working ambassador schools
The Department for Education is looking for schools to apply to be 'Flexible working ambassador schools'.
The selected schools will receive funding to drive greater take-up of flexible working in schools. They will be expected to do this by improving the policies, practice and culture around flexible working by providing peer support for headteachers within local and other networks.
They will also be expected to increase the likelihood of flexible working requests being accepted by providing support networks, advice and guidance directly to teachers who want to access flexible working opportunities.
The selected schools will also be inviting school leaders and teachers to training and events to improve the perception of flexible working.
They will also be increasing the use of DfE’s support package by encouraging schools to use the materials alongside the support that flexible working ambassador schools offer
Flexible working ambassador schools will be responsible for recruiting at least 5 schools across their region to provide direct one-to-one support from April 2021 to December 2022.
They will also be expected to run at least 5 peer-to-peer training events (all online) over 5 terms, aiming to cover a range of flexible working topics and targeted at either flexible working approvers or requesters.
Applications close on 7 December 2020, see details here.
