STAFF and members of a local teacher supply agency celebrated last week when it was presented with the new prestigious Quality Mark Award.

The Hertfordshire based agency, Supply Desk, was one of four nationwide selected for the new award by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills.

The creation of the Quality Mark sets minimum standards for agencies to reach in the way they recruit and interview staff; how they check and manage their staff; and the way they stay at the forefront of changes in the teaching sector.
