The service referred to by the Deputy may wish to contact their Education and Training Board for further information on the UBU Your Place Your Space scheme. The policy and operating rules for the scheme are available on www.ubu.gov.ie.
The scheme provides a mechanism under the policy and operating rules for the introduction of new services where funding becomes available. This involves a number of steps, including the ETB preparing a service requirement for an area. The ETB seeking a new service to enter the scheme would then advertise for applicants using a call for service model. This process has been successfully completed over 2021 and 2022 to bring forward 16 additional funded organisations across the country.
