Yes in summer holiday I do stand hours of 21hours so about three days, but my wages were worked out so I got paid every month.Now I will only be paid the hours I do, So Easter, Christmas, and half term I wont be paid. Our wages will be paid on the 31st of each month or the nearest date to that. They will supply us new tea shirt and tabard, but want us to to supply black trousers. I usually wear any colour or type of trousers for the school. The agency has said we need to pay for my DBS check  which I have never done this 30 years. I have now got to prove to the agency I have the write to work in the UK, I have a birth certificate but I have been this is no good as its my maiden name. I don't have driving license or passport. Do they have to stick to my current contract under tupe for the next year. Thank you for the comments but I don't know who I can speak to about were I stand.

Honestly? I'd book an appointment at your local Citizens Advice Bureaux

on what basis ?

 dress code  stuff is  fairly normal 

getting peopel to pay for their DBS  has been something which has increasingly become the norma especially as they are now fully portable if you sign up for the  Update service 

Right to work  verification is  routine following a TUPE  

pay  dates and arrangements can be changed by an employer with  reasonable notice   

all of this can be in the Measures  of the TUPE   which will be discussed with the apponted representatives on the staff  being TUPEd  

On the basis that they are inherently changing the Ts and Cs. No-one pays for their own DBS, particularly if they've never had to in the past.

Dress code isn't normal if you were previously supplied a full uniform and are now expected to provide half of it.

Pay arrangements CANNOT be changed. Dates, yes. But you can't say "Well, we used to pay you over 12 months, but now we're not" because that's not undertaking protections.

I would suggest that the OP goes and gets some advice, which is what the CAB do.
