What does this line in agency's email mean?

[ASB]

Yes and Not really.

It affords you certain protections related to being paid irrespective of whether the agency is paid. Maximum period before you can go back without them and some other bits and pieces.

You can opt out if you wish.

Some will say you should. Some will say you shouldn't.

Some initial reading.

It means the agency will be acting as an agency as defined under The Employment Agencies Act 1973.

Is this the norm? Should I care about this?

Hi,

The agency is asking me to agree to the following, before sending my CV over:

"[the agency] will be acting as an agency as defined under The Employment Agencies Act 1973."

What does this mean?

Thanks,
Jamie
