Dear Service Provider,
We have received several queries regarding ‘Attendance of children in receipt of AIM supports.’
Please note, the rules for absence or under attendance of children in receipt of AIM supports (as set out in section 10 of the AIM Programme Rules), have not changed. For AIM Level 7 Standard, a service provider must adhere to the rules for absence or under attendance, as set out in the ECCE rules.
In line with these rules, Pobal must be informed through a Prolonged Absence Review if an AIM child has been absent for a period of 4 or more consecutive weeks.
The AIM Programme Rules for 2024/25 are available on the Early Years Hive here.
Regards,
The Early Years Team.
