Period for the granting of a CID to be reduced to a period of continuous employment in excess of two years

Once a teacher has completed his or her first year of fixed-term employment in a school and the hours are available for that post for the following year, that position should be automatically re-advertised by the school and a new recruitment process undertaken for the filling of the post for the second year

A teacher covering for another teacher on career break or secondment should not be disqualified from entitlement to a CID on that ground

Upon the return of the teacher on career break the teacher who provided the cover and qualified for a CID will have access to the redeployment panel

When a part-time CID holder is awarded additional hours the qualifying period of continuous employment for a period in excess of three years be replaced by a continuous period of employment in excess of one year
