My Department published details of Summer Provision 2020 – Reconnecting with Education including a home-based programme for children with complex special educational needs.
Parents/Guardians select and engage tutors/SNAs for the provision of the home based programme in a private arrangement which is then funded through the scheme.
The role of Tutors and Special Needs Assistants engaged by Parents under the home based summer programme are separate and distinct and broadly reflect the role of teachers and SNAs in schools. See https://www.education.ie/en/Parents/Services/summerprovision/home-based-guidance-summer-programme.pdf.
It is the responsibility of the parent and tutor/SNA to ensure any necessary insurance arrangements are in place.
