Supporting Post-Primary Schools with Learners at Very High Risk to Covid-19

Webinar on October 8th at 4.30pm.

This webinar presents a repository of available supports for principals, teachers, and SETs for the continuity of learning for pupils who are unable to attend school due to their very high risk status to Covid-19.
Each of the support services, along with the Education Support Centres of Ireland will present on the afternoon.
The objective of the webinar is to present all of these supports in one place and introduce the point of contact in each group to the schools who have VHR learners aswell as providing information on what schools can expect after requesting support.
The following groups will present: The Inspectorate, JCT PDST, NCSE, NEPS and ESCI.
