FOI Request - Teachers Signed Off Sick

Request 101003121659

1. I request statistics on how many teachers of primary and secondary schools pupils were signed off sick at the end of the academic year 30 June 2022.

2. Of this number, if possible how many were signed off sick with stress please?

3. Of the total number, how many are due to be off when the academic year for pupils resumes on 17 August 2022.

Response 04-10-2022

Numbers are based as of 02/07/2022 as our schools did not break up until 01/07/2022.

1. 6

2. <5 signed off with stress/anxiety. The number of teachers signed of with stress/anxiety is less than 5. Due to the low numbers involved, release of this information could result in the identification of individuals. This information is therefore exempt under Section 38(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Personal Information.
