  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends The School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 2005 (“the Document”) with effect from 1 January 2006.\nThe Document makes provision for teachers to receive additional payments (‘TLRs’) for undertaking teaching and learning responsibilities and for members of the leadership group and advanced skills teachers (‘ASTs’) to be paid on separate, higher pay scales.\nThe Document also makes provision for such teachers to receive a safeguarded sum for a period of time where the relevant body (the governing body or the local education authority) determines, whether as a result of a change to their pay policy or to the school’s staffing structure or otherwise, that it is no longer appropriate for them to undertake these particular responsibilities or to be paid on those separate pay scales.\nThe principal amendments to the Document—\nclarify the circumstances in which and the length of time for which the safeguarded sums for members of the leadership group, ASTs, and those to whom TLRs have been awarded will be paid, in particular in relation to those teachers who are employed under a fixed-term contract or for a fixed period; and\nbring the position of teachers in receipt of management allowances who begin general safeguarding arrangements before 1 January 2006, and who are awarded a TLR, into line with that of all other teachers.",
