The DEIS programme provides for a range of supports including smaller class sizes, additional teaching posts, enhanced book grants, school meals, curriculum supports, priority access to Continuing Professional Development and Home School Community Liaison Coordinators.
The Home School Community Liaison (HSCL) scheme is a key support provided under the DEIS programme and is one of three strands of support provided by Tusla Education Support Service, together with the Education Welfare Service and the School Completion Programme. It is targeted at supporting the attendance, participation and retention of learners at risk of educational disadvantage through supporting engagement between the learners’ school and home. Currently, all DEIS Urban Primary and DEIS Post Primary schools are included in the HSCL Scheme.
Along with the supports outlined above, DEIS schools also receive ICT grants as well as the standard capitation, ancillary, and minor works grants available to all schools. A full list of the supports available to DEIS schools is available at:
