PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Music: Education (17 July 2014)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which music education hubs in England have placed the majority of their music teachers on notice of redundancy since they were first established in 2012; and which hubs do not employ their music teachers on regular terms and conditions; and what proportion of hubs such hubs represent.

Asked by:
Kerry McCarthy (Labour)

The Department for Education does not collect this information.

Music education hubs receive Department for Education funding through Arts Council England, which manages the hubs on the Department’s behalf. Music hubs have four core roles which they are required to deliver.

Music hubs are free to spend their funding in accordance with local needs and arrangements, and set their own employment terms and conditions.
