In the face of challenging market conditions, SupplyWell has not only weathered the storm but has emerged stronger and more dynamic than ever. The million-pound investment reflects a robust vote of confidence in SupplyWell’s vision of a fairer future in education and underlines the commitment of investors to support advances in educational technology.

SupplyWell’s CEO and co-founder Michael Heverin says:

“Rob Jones of RJF Accountants recommended James Philips at Oberon Investments. James really helped us get fundraise ready through the consulting arm Elevix. The process they follow made all the difference. This investment allows us to scale into new regions, bringing real solutions to schools beyond the Liverpool City Region.  It will help us help school leaders not only make their budgets go further through predictive data but to add real value to their students’ outcomes and the wider school community. At the same time, we can create more consistent, flexible and better-paid job opportunities for teachers.”

The investment coincides with SupplyWell’s expansion into Manchester and Cardiff earlier this year. The strategic decision to broaden their reach aligns with the company’s mission to provide cutting-edge supply solutions to educators and schools. Beyond broadening its geographical reach, SupplyWell has witnessed impressive internal development. The team has doubled in size this year, drawing in top-tier talent to bolster the company’s capabilities and drive innovation in the Ed-Tech sector.

Supply teachers, teaching assistants, cover supervisors and schools will benefit significantly from this investment. The £1M investment will play a pivotal role in advancing SupplyWell’s mission to create a fairer future for teachers, schools and students by changing the way schools and educators manage their supply needs. The funds will be directed towards enhancing the platform’s features, expanding service offerings, and further solidifying SupplyWell’s position as a leader in Ed-Tech supply solutions.

About SupplyWell:
SupplyWell is building the future of work in education by providing a seamless experience for both schools and teachers using our digital supply platform. We help schools connect directly with amazing teachers, teaching assistants and cover supervisors. Built by a team of former teachers and senior leaders who have experienced the challenges of supply and recruitment first hand, SupplyWell are working with tech to bring about a fairer approach to cover management.

Dyslexia Awareness

It’s Dyslexia Awareness Week from 2nd to 8th October 2023 and the British Dyslexia Association is celebrating with the theme of ‘Uniquely You’.

Although attitudes and understanding of the condition have changed over recent years, there are still many who struggle with how dyslexia affects their lives. 

Over 6 million individuals in the UK have dyslexia and may not have received a diagnosis.

About Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a spectrum disorder – meaning that everyone’s experience of it is different, and they develop different ways to cope and work with it throughout their lives in education and through careers. 

Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Dyslexia occurs across the range of intellectual abilities.

2009 Rose report

Personal Experience

Dyslexia affects 10% of the population. And I’m a part of that neurodiverse statistic. I used to be weary of sharing the fact that I’m dyslexic but honestly I’m quite proud of my unique brain. 

Looking back, I had quite classic signs of dyslexia, but having grown up in a bilingual schooling system in Wales I think my struggles with dyslexia were dismissed as laziness and dealing with the use of the English and Welsh languages which clash significantly in their structures. 

I found this frustrating as a teenager, going through GCSEs and A levels as I felt I tried so hard and yet I was often told I simply wasn’t trying hard enough.

Despite these struggles I have made a living most of my life writing – I clearly love to challenge myself!    

Teaching With Dyslexia

Teaching as a dyslexic can bring unique challenges (correctly spelling on the spot was one that got me!) but also means that you have a sensitivity and insight into pupils’ struggles with literacy. There’s a fantastic blog full of wonderful advice and insight from dyslexic teacher Matthew Friday here.

Dyslexic Teaching Resources

There are many fantastic resources available online to support students with dyslexia including seminars and advice.

The latest version of the Department for Education’s document, Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) can be accessed by following this link.

We recommend a great webinar delivered by Andrew Hall of Safeguarding in schools that explains the changes. You can access the webinar here Keeping Children Safe in Education 2023 (webinarjam.com)

Safer Recruitment

In relation to Safer Recruitment – the new version clarifies that it is good practice to inform shortlisted candidates that online searches may be carried out.

The guidance remains the same on whether these searches need to be completed – ‘schools should consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence on the shortlisted candidate’. Indicating that while not mandatory it would be good practice. (see paragraph 221)

Non-school activities:

Where schools are used for non-school activities, those providers are expected to meet the guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Out of School Settings (see paragraph 167);

If schools receive allegations related to an incident that ‘happened when an individual or organisation was using their school premises for the purposes of running activities for children…the school should follow their [own] safeguarding policies and procedures, including informing the LADO’. (see paragraph 377).

Filtering and Monitoring

The government has made a few changes this year. The key topic to be aware of is the implementation of the newly published standards for ‘Filtering and Monitoring’. In particular, all staff are to understand their role in this, and DSLs are expected to have the ‘lead responsibility’. The standards can be found by clicking here.

Children who are absent from education

Updated guidance on school attendance, and children being absent from education for prolonged periods and/or on repeat occasions see Working together to improve school attendance:

Children missing from education’ replaced with ‘Children who are absent from education’;

Updated information on how schools should work with local authority children’s services where school absence indicates safeguarding concerns.

Changes in terminology

• Updated throughout to include ‘pupils or students’.
• Reference to teachers can ‘discipline’ has been replaced with teachers can ‘sanction’
• Replaced children may be ‘vulnerable’ with children may be ‘susceptible’
• Forced marriage to child marriage, highlighting the changes in law February 2023.

Other changes

• Following the end of the work of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), the obligation to ‘preserve records’ for the inquiry has now been removed.
• Since February 2023 it has also been a crime to carry out any conduct whose purpose is to cause a child to marry before their eighteenth birthday, even if violence, threats or another form of coercion are not used. As with the existing forced marriage law, this applies to non-binding, unofficial ‘marriages’ as well as legal marriages. (see page 155).

Remember that the new edition of KCSIE does not come into force until September 2023, and that occasionally changes are made during the interim period, especially to paragraph numbering. We hope you found this guide to the changes to KCSIE useful.

What is the problem?

So how do we identify the retention issue? The reasons for this high turnover rate can vary, but common factors include workload and stress, lack of support from senior leaders, and low pay. With an ageing population of teachers and difficulties in recruiting new teachers, it is vita that steps are taken to retain current teachers in the profession.

What are the solutions?

One solution being implemented is the introduction of better support systems for newly qualified teachers. Mentoring programs and ongoing professional development can help new teachers feel more confident and supported in their roles, reducing the likelihood of them leaving the profession.

Another potential solution is to address the issue of workload and stress. By providing teachers with more manageable workloads and resources for managing stress, they are more likely to stay in the profession long-term.

Retention is critical for educational success

Ultimately, the retention of teachers is crucial for the success of the education system in the UK. By addressing the factors causing high turnover rates, we can ensure that teachers are able to thrive in their roles. This will provide the best possible education for our children.

SupplyWell can help!

SupplyWell provides a more flexible and supportive approach to teaching. This allows teachers to work on a temporary or part-time basis while receiving teaching and wellbeing support and CPD opportunities.

Significantly, SupplyWell’s unique approach helps schools and teachers use technology to match each other’s needs. This provides a streamlined process for booking and paying for supply work.

Therefore, stress and uncertainty often associated with supply teaching is alleviated with this straightforward process. This ease of use makes it a more attractive option for teachers looking for a more flexible work schedule.

Accessible to sustainable workforce

In effect, by providing a more accessible and manageable way for teachers to work in the education system, SupplyWell can help to incentivise teachers to stay in the profession. This, in turn, can lead to a more stable and sustainable workforce, benefiting both teachers and students alike.

Teacher retention is an issue that requires a multifaceted approach. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, it is clear that a combination of support for new teachers, addressing workload and stress, and the use of supply teaching solutions can all play a role in helping to ensure a stable and successful education system in the UK.

According the Office of National Statistics, The prices of food and non-alcoholic drinks rose at the fastest rate in more than 45 years in the 12 months to March 2023.

Nearly half of all adults who pay energy bills (45%) also said they were already finding it difficult to afford them.

Schools are also set to feel the real impact of the soring cost of energy and of course, concern for their staff and children – all impacted by this ongoing stress and strain on our lives in the coming months.

SupplyWell strives to offer schools cost effective supply solutions and industry leading pay and wellbeing support through expert contact and advice and free access to Wellbeing app Everymind at work for all members of our community.

Sadly we can’t do the government’s job for them and try to fix the cost of living crisis BUT we can help point you in the right direction for help and advice.
