Amharc ar fhreagraThe core function of the redeployment arrangements is to facilitate the redeployment of all surplus permanent/CID holding teachers to 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 eligibility criteria for access for fixed-term (temporary), substitute and part-time teachers to the Supplementary Redeployment Panel for the 2014/15 school year, including the appropriate salary scale points, are set out in Circular 0057/2013 which is available on the Department website. The redeployment arrangements are reviewed annually with the relevant education partners to determine what adjustment, if any, is required for subsequent school years. Arrangements for the 2015/16 school year will be determined later in the year and will be published on the Department website.
