DE:The Department of Education is undertaking a survey on substitution. The purpose of this survey is to help the Department understand patterns of working across substitute teachers working in the primary and post-primary sectors in Ireland. Anyone who has provided substitute work in the last school year or the current school year is invited to respond. The information gathered will be used for statistical purposes only and will be presented in aggregate in the form of a report. All submissions will be anonymous. 

The survey is available at the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Sub_teacher_supply_survey and should take about 10 minutes to complete. Attached is an info graphic with an embedded QR code with link to the survey, and school management is requested to share this with their substitute teacher colleagues.
