The redeployment process takes place in the first half of each year and takes effect from the start of the following school year. The process operates and deals with any surplus for the following school year.

The redeployment process for the 2015/16 school year will commence early in 2015. The numbers involved for redeployment will be finalised at that stage. Given that Budget 2015 did not impact on teacher allocations it is likely that the level of redeployment will be lower than in recent years.
