Joint Oireachtas Committee on Autism
Autism Policy in Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Phil Fox:
Yes. There are 116,000 on the register. On how the numbers break down, I must say that some of those teachers are retired and they have kept their registration. A number of those teachers may be abroad and have continued to maintain their registration with the council. We are not clear on the number of those teachers because we do not hold their employment data. This goes back to the same point again that we just told their qualifications, their vetting and other necessary data for them to be on the register of teachers. Where they are employed and the decisions they make thereafter are not contained within our register or in our database.
