The aim of this document is to introduce a focused health and wellbeing strategy and action plan for EA, which will provide health and wellbeing initiatives and bring existing initiatives under one banner. 

The Arrangements allows KS4 pupils and +16 pupils, in Controlled, Maintained and Irish Medium schools, to engage in a period of work placement and be absent from normal schooling.  

Elective Home Education is the term used to describe the practice by which parents decide to educate their children outside of the school system. 

EA wish to transform the recruitment function, currently paper based, to an electronic system. This is the next step on the road to digital transformation strategy that fits with the EA’s own priorities but also with the wider PfG targets. 

The proposed structure has been developed to reflect the need to deliver a regional capital planning and investment service, which ensures consistency, quality and value for money across all programmes and projects that the Authority manages.

The Authority provides a School Crossing Patrol Service in line with this discretion. Even where this is provided it remains a parental responsibility to ensure the safety of their children for the entire journey to and from school.

The EA recognises the value of the workforce and the importance of having a skilled team of staff and volunteers who can 'inspire, support and challenge all our Children and Young People to be the best that they can be' . 

The Authority should establish a professionally qualified Head of CoPE to support the effective management of all procurement activity in the Authority. In order to achieve these principles, the proposed structure has been developed to reflect the need to deliver a regional procurement service for both Construction and Supplies & Services.

The Education Authority employs almost 40,000 staff, has an annual budget of almost £1.5 billion and provides a wide range of educational services for nearly 340,000 children and young people. The division impacted by the proposed changes is Infrastructure and Capital Development, which sits within the Directorate of Operations and Estates.

HR has commenced its change programme by firstly implementing an interim functional area operating model as of January 2017. This interim model was to be reviewed within one year of operation.

At this time there are no specific Section 75 categories which might be expected to benefit from the policy, rather It is envisaged that this plan will assist the EA to bring parity of access and more consistency for service provision across NI.

This application automatically calculates the walking distance whereby the parents of clearly eligible pupils receive an immediate positive response. The policy is applicable to all parents making new applications for transport assistance to mainstream schools for their children for the school year starting in September 2017.

The Scheme sets out the policy and procedures for the recruitment and selection of teaching staff employed by controlled schools in Northern Ireland. 

This scheme seeks to set out how Boards of Governors shall manage and control the school for which they are appointed, subject to the provisions of the Education Orders and regulations.

The purpose of this document is to clearly set out for school principals, senior leaders, teachers and boards of governors the purposes for which the Northern Ireland Substitute Teacher Register (NISTR) should be used.

To provide interim arrangements for the EA Education Library Service (ELS), which will replace the current Schools Library Services of the five former Education and Library Boards (ELBs).

To provide interim arrangements for the EA Music Service, which will replace the current Music Services of the five former Education and Library Boards (ELBs).
