The Department of Education (DE) has announced a consultation into the recommendations from the Taskforce Report into a Proposed Model of Support for Controlled Schools. The Controlled Schools' Support Council (CSSC) has been working towards this since its inception in 2016.
The consultation is an important step as we move towards improved support for controlled schools. We encourage controlled schools those in wider school communities to share their views.
CSSC welcomes the Minister's commitment to strengthening support for controlled schools as an important step toward achieving the greater consistency and fairness envisioned by the Independent Review of Education.
CSSC welcomes the opportunity to take part in a consultation on the recommendations of the recent Taskforce Report - Development of a Proposed Model for Support for Controlled Schools. CSSC fully endorses these recommendations.
It is vital that we take this important opportunity to focus on the specific needs of the sector by engaging in the public consultation.
