The Irish Primary Principals’ Network (IPPN) and the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals (NAPD) have created the online Sub Seeker service to match available teachers with short term substitute vacancies in schools. Sub Seeker is accessed from educationposts.ie and is live now.
Teachers available for substitute work and schools seeking to recruit substitute teachers must register with the service, which is free to use.
The teacher profile includes qualifications and experience and the teacher selects up to 6 counties in which they are willing to work.
A teacher indicates his/her availability for the next 7 days.
The service is mobile compatible and teachers receive work offers directly online and via email.
Over 800 teachers, from the primary and post primary sectors, have registered as the system goes live.

Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre Data Protection Update
Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre Data Protection Update
A new data protection regulation, GDPR, came into force on May 25th 2018. It applies to organisations that are based in the EU.
Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre is sending out an e-mail to schools to outline our approach to maintaining continued contact and to make clear to all Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre service users what their data rights are with respect to knowing:
a) what data Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre collects on its service users;
b) what Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre does with user data; and
c) how to obtain a census of what data Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre holds on you as a service user.
The answers to these questions are straightforward:
a) Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre holds no information on its service users other than that which was given on school contact databases or participant contact forms (name, address, institution, title, e-mail address, participant role etc); that which service users voluntarily put on their Education Centre website user account; information given to us on Expense Claims (expense details, bank paying-in details, and receipts); e-mails and correspondence; details of financial transactions made, for example course fee payments taken, and grants paid out to individuals or schools.
b) This limited amount of data that Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre holds is only used for the following purposes: for having an up-to-date list of schools, event bookings, attendance rolls, course and project participants; for sending out communications, and staying in touch with schools, tutors and account users; for keeping track of who has paid course fees, when, and how much has been paid; for compliance with the Charity Regulator’s or Department of Education & Skills’ requests for information and legally-binding accounting purposes (e.g. knowing to whom Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre has paid grants and expenses, when, and how much has been paid); e-mail addresses and contacts necessary for administering and carrying out Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre projects and centre business.
c) If any Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre service user would like further clarification on what data are kept on them personally, or, moreover, if any service user would simply like us to delete and dispose of any information we have on them, you can get in touch with the Centre at any time using the following e-mail address: gdprThis email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (please note, that Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre will process such a request within legal parameters within 30 days).
Finally, please note that Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre payments received as part of course fees are handled by third party banking websites, so we do not have any members’ PayPal/credit/debit card details at all; nor does Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre analyse the cookie information that may be gathered on our website, nor do we sell any information on, nor do we give any information we have to third parties unless legally obliged to do so or unless the Education Centre network has a working relationship with relevant organisations for the provision of courses and projects. For specific courses or projects operated in collaboration with relevant organisation, such as support services, the Health & Safety Authority or Arts organisations, the collaborative partner is identifiable at the outset. Carrick-on-Shannon Education Centre protects the devices such data are stored upon, and is obligated to report to its service users any data breaches perpetrated.
