I wish to advise the Deputy the education welfare functions vested in the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth under the Education (Welfare) Act 2000 and the administration of the Home School Community Liaison Scheme (HSCL) and the School Completion Programme (SCP), were transferred to the Minister for Education with effect from 1st January 2021, in line with Transfer of Functions Order, SI 588 of 2020.

Notwithstanding the change in Ministerial remit, the School Completion Programme forms part of Tusla Education Support Service; the arrangements in place between Tusla and SCP have not changed.
