View answerMy Department is working through a significant number of implementation issues following the acceptance of the Haddington Road Agreement by the teacher unions. The last of the three teacher unions accepted the Agreement in late December 2013.
One of the issues to be addressed is the redundancy entitlement of external supervisors employed by schools under the previous Supervision scheme, following the introduction of the requirement under the Haddington Road Agreement for all teachers to perform supervision duties.
This issue is being considered at present and officials of my Department will be in contact shortly with the school in question regarding the specific case raised by the Deputy.
