I'm guessing that the school will probably only receive money for a replacement teacher whilst that teacher is off site. It may also be to do with liability insurance. The thing to do would be to liaise with the insurance company - they are very process driven and they have clear lines of demarcation as a rule. In all likelihood you would need to get their buy in and their processes changed!!!

They were told that, if they had a phased return, the school would have to bear the whole cost as the insurance for a supply teacher does not cover phased return. The implication here is that the insurance company’s view is “keep away or come back full time”. Has anyone come across such a view before? It seems rather contrary to any current ideas on returning to work – and more expensive for the insurance company. > > I look forward to your comments. > > Kind regards > > Kevin > > Dr. Kevin MAGUIRE CPsychol MCIEH, Senior Lecturer, Division of Psychology, School of Social Sciences, Nottingham Trent University, Burton Street, Nottingham, NG1 4BU.

I will ring HR tomorrow and get advice about a phased return. It is a good idea and I would support this but I think we have to bear the whole cost of the cover as the insurance doesn’t cover it. I will check. I was wondering if you would like to do the appraisal interviews for your team as we are at that time again! I will ring you after I have been in touch with HR so we can talk about it then. It will probably be tomorrow night. > DISCLAIMER: This email is intended solely for the addressee.
