Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Key Issues for the Teaching Council: Discussion

5:30 pm

Ms Phil Fox:

In the second quarter of this year, we went out to tender for an EDI strategy. As Dr. Ramsey said, we have appointed a very experienced organisation to work with us. Part of the work we want it to conduct with us and for us is research and analysis to identify the gaps in data that exist and fill some of them in for us in relation to the challenges in work culture and external policy development. We have embarked on a consultative process, an iterative process, with internal and external stakeholders. After a 35-week framework period, the result will be an initial three-year action plan. Built into that action plan will be tracking and monitoring of the actions on an iterative basis. We have, therefore, commenced the work and we are very much looking forward to seeing what that data might reveal for us.
