In an email to school and college leaders, Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi tells headteachers they can support an effort to boost the numbers of supply staff by encouraging former employees to 'sign up'.
"We will work with sector leaders and supply agencies over the coming days to offer advice to ex-teachers who want to provide support to schools and colleges.
"From now, you can support this effort by using your own professional and personal networks to encourage others to sign up to offer temporary help."Mr Zahawi also informed school and college leaders that the government's workforce fund would continue until February half-term. "It is also important to emphasise that even then it is very unlikely to be enough to solve a problem at such a scale as this, and the government does need to do much more in terms of supporting control measures, such as testing and ventilation, in order to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus.
