*Other  fixed  term  staff  are  Manual  Worker  and  Civil  Service  roles  such  as  ICT  Technicians, Breakfast/Lunchtime Supervisors, Skills Coaches and Careers Advisers.

*Other zero hours staff are Manual Worker and Civil Service roles such as Education Supply performing various roles, Counsellors, Welfare Officers and Parenting Facilitators.

**Specific role, not whole service. Zero hours figures only show staff whose only contract with the organisation is a zero hours one and does not include any permanent or fixed term contract staff who also have a zero hour contract.

Teachers on zero hours contracts are known as Supply teachers' i.e. vetting and cleared qualified teachers who chose to work on supply' as cover for planned teachers' training as well as sick cover.
