Management Information relating to attendance at Northern Ireland educational settings during the COVID-19 outbreak 23 March 2020 to 29 June 2020

These figures have been collected in response to COVID-19. Data collected are deemed to be management information and have not undergone the same rigorous quality assurance checks that are carried out prior to the publication of Official Statistics,

From 23 March 2020 to 29 June 2020 a survey was issued to educational settings in Northern Ireland. This period was when educational settings in Northern Ireland were closed to pupils, with the exception of:

Vulnerable children – where “Schools should work in conjunction with parents/ carers, the Education Authority (EA) and, where appropriate, social services to identify and assess vulnerable children to determine if their best interests would be met by the school’s continued supervised learning.”; and

Children, up to Year 10 (age 14 proxy), of key workers – where “no other viable option for their child’s supervision” was available.
