I understood the point on redeployment. Is it with regard to this particular return exercise that is being worked on? Perhaps it is additional work. In general, I am in favour of the expansion of the home school liaison scheme and school completion programme. The expansion of DEIS to another cohort of schools is an important part of this, not just DEIS band 1, which is important, but also DEIS band 2.
Some of the very important work done by school completion officers includes breakfast clubs. From the Department's point of view is it full steam ahead? Can breakfast clubs and other such activity resume? Have they resumed?
