The core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent teachers to other schools that have vacancies. Thereafter, schools are required under the panel arrangements to fill permanent vacancies from supplementary panels comprised of eligible fixed-term (temporary/substitute) and part-time teachers.
The criteria, reviewed annually with the Education Partners, are published on the Department website. Circular 57/2023 sets out the arrangements for the Supplementary Panel for the 2024/25 school year.
The teacher referred to by the Deputy is ineligible for the Supplementary Panel as she does not have a contract up to the end of the current school year.
