The DE have written to schools in their letter dated 24 January 2022 (pdf) to help school principals and Boards of Governors deal with requests from teachers, currently on career break, who wish to temporarily return to the classroom to support teaching colleagues and help ease the staffing pressures on schools at the present time. This letter encloses the correspondence issued to career break teachers along with a short set of FAQs designed to address the specific queries in relation to how any periods worked will impact on their terms and conditions.
