The final date for the school lead redeployment process is Friday, 28 April 2023. After this date, a Panel Officer will be appointed by the Patron/Panel Operator to clear panel(s). A Board is not permitted to proceed with normal recruitment and appointment procedures to fill permanent or fixed term vacancies without the approval of their Patron. It is advisable for schools to contact their Patron before advertising vacancies on EducationPosts.ie. Schools that have approval for filling permanent or fixed term vacancies through open competition can refer to IPPN’s Developing Teaching Capacity – Recruiting and Appointing Teachers Resource Bundle. It provides a step-by-step guide through the recruitment and appointment process with supporting documentation and resources.
Equal Participation Model
- Published: 30 March 2023
The Children’s Rights Alliance are developing a new Equal Participation Model on behalf of Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. It aims to promote equal participation and access for all children to early learning, care and school aged childcare services.
The Children’s Rights Alliance are hosting consultations on behalf of the Department to collect the views of parents. In particular, they are seeking to include the views of parents who are living in disadvantage, migrant and refugee parents, one-parent families, and parents from Traveller and Roma communities. They are requesting schools support to identify parents/families who would be interested and willing to participate in these consultations.
Parent consultations will be hosted online on:
- Consultation 1: 5 April, 9.30 - 10.30am
- Consultation 2: 6 April, 9.30 - 10.30am
- Consultation 3: 13 April, 9.30 - 10.30am
If you know of parents wishing to take part in a consultation, please contact Margaret at margaret@childrensrights.ie with name, contact details and their preferred date.
