Original consultation

Summary

We're seeking views on a proposed end date for eligible teachers to make Golden Hello claims to academies or LEAs in England.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
10am on 25 January 2018 to 11:45pm on 8 March 2018

Consultation description

We want to identify a suitable end date for eligible teachers to submit outstanding Golden Hello claims to academies or LEAs in England.

The main points we considered were that:

• there has been a 99% reduction in Golden Hello payments over the last 4 financial years
• historical claims suggest the vast majority of eligible teachers have already successfully claimed
• those still eligible would have reasonable opportunity to submit their claim before the proposed end date

This does not impact the Teaching Grant scheme in Wales.
