Community Employment (CE) schemes are typically sponsored by groups (known as CE sponsors) wishing to benefit the local community. The CE sponsoring organisations are the legal employers of CE supervisors and assistant supervisors and are responsible for recruitment.

From the records available to my Department a total of 78 assistant supervisors have worked for sponsoring organisations in the role of supervisor from 2012 to 2017. This includes promotion and acting up positions. I must emphasise that decisions on promotions are for the CE sponsoring organisations and not my Department.

The first tabular statement provides details of the number of assistant supervisors who have worked as supervisors for the years 2012 to 2017. The second one provides a breakdown by county.

I trust this clarifies the position for the deputy.
