The Information and Research Management Service
The Teaching Agency conducts many research and information-gathering exercises among its stakeholders every year. These are necessary to ensure training organisations are funded appropriately and that the Teaching Agency's services contribute to a high-quality school workforce. The role of the Information and Research Management Service is to ensure that the Teaching Agency doesn't overload its stakeholders when collecting information.
