Notifying the LA of a dismissal
Community and voluntary controlled schools
Your school’s governing board must notify the local authority (LA) when it determines that any person employed by the LA to work at your school should cease to work there (see The School Staffing (England) Regulations 2009, regulations 8, 11, 20, 23 and 32).
The notification must include the reasons for this.
This is also set out in the model teacher appraisal and capability policy for schools (page 14).
Voluntary aided and foundation schools
The same regulations do not apply unless the member of staff is employed by the LA.
References for former teachers
This is explained in the staffing and employment advice for schools (paragraph 2.4, page 7). The requirements were introduced in The School Staffing (England) (Amendment)
