Applications for Funding Funding is granted on a year-to-year basis. The granting of funding does not confer automatic entitlement to funding in subsequent years. Accounts must be submitted to this Department at the end of the school year or as soon as possible thereafter. An Income and Expenditure Return is available to download from this page. Applications for the next school year must be submitted at that time also. Failure to submit applications may result in a delay in the issue of funding or funding being refused If you are planning on operating a food club funded by this Department in the next school year, you must submit an application form in advance of that school year even if you have surplus funds in your account. Payment of Funding Funding issues in 2 installments, at the beginning of the school year and at the start of the following calendar year. From the beginning of the school year 2010/2011, funding will be paid by Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) directly to a nominated bank account. It is recommended that a separate bank account be used for School Meals Scheme funding. Records to be retained/submitted At the end of every school year appropriate accounting records showing vouched income and expenditure for each school year must be submitted to the School Meals Section. Accounts must show all expenditure of the project and all sources of funding – statutory and voluntary. Please use the Income and Expenditure Report provided on this web page to submit your end of year accounts. Your total expenditure for the school year shown in your end-of-year accounts should reflect the overall attendance (for example based on roll attendance) during the year. It is the responsibility of the school or project to ensure that food is purchased only for children in attendance and that no funding is spent in relation to known absentees. All records, both manual and electronic, relating to funding provided under the School Meals Scheme must be retained for a minimum of six years and be available for inspection. When requested to do so, copies of these records must be furnished to the Department Please read carefully the section entitled 'End of Year Procedures' for further information. What is covered by your funding Funding is for healthy nutritious food only and must not be spent on confectionary, crisps, fizzy drinks, fried food, fast food etc. Your end-of-year accounts and receipts will be inspected to ensure you are complying with this requirement. Further information regarding healthy eating for children is available from the Health Promotion Unit of the Health Services Executive and in 'A Good Practice Guide for School Food Initiative' produced by Health Food for All. The food provided must be of good quality and prepared and consumed in appropriate facilities. All health and safety issues are the responsibility of the school/project. Deciding on the exact food items to provide, and the method of providing the food and the supplier(s) to use, is the responsibility of each school/project. Funding is for food items only. It cannot be used to fund administration, equipment, salaries, bank charges, or any non-food purchases. Your end-of-year accounts and receipts will be inspected to ensure you are complying with this requirement. Please ensure that non-food items are manually deducted from receipts before they are forwarded to this Department. Funding under the School Meals Local Projects Scheme is allocated on the basis of a rate per meal, per child, per day. If you are aware that a child will not be in attendance for a particular day/number of days, meals should not be purchased for that child. Please note - The aim of the School Meals Local Projects Scheme is to provide regular nutritious food to children who are unable, by reason of lack of food, to take full advantage of the education provided for them. Funding must be targeted at disadvantaged children and distributed equitably among schools/projects. Please review your food clubs to ensure that the funding provided is being put to the best use, that the clubs are targeting the most disadvantaged children, and that there is no wastage. If you feel that any of your provision is superfluous, please adjust your application for the coming school year to reflect this. This will enable us to ensure that the benefits of the School Meals funding are maximised by directing it to the most disadvantaged children in society. End of Year Procedures - You must submit appropriate accounting records at the end of the school year, including an income and expenditure account which should show: - The allocation of funding under the School Meals Scheme (the amount of money received plus any surplus carried forward from the previous year) - The amount of money, if any, received from other sources for the food club(s) - The amount of money spent, on a weekly or monthly basis, on food items for the food clubs funded by the Scheme during the school year - The surplus or deficit balance at the end of the school year. If a deficit occurs, please state how this has been funded. - You must also submit actual receipts/invoices detailing expenditure and the actual food items purchased for one sample month during the school year. - You must ensure that a record is kept on a daily basis of all students receiving food under this programme. This record must include the name of the student and details of meals supplied to him/her under this programme. If your school/organisation operates a cash till, please ensure that the till is correctly programmed to provide a record of all meals consumed on a daily basis. - Applications for funding in respect of future school years will be dependent on your meeting this requirement to the Department’s satisfaction - You must submit a completed application form for the next school year, plus the accounting records detailed above, at the end of the current school year or before the 3rd week of September in the next school year at the latest. - If you do not require funding for the next school year due to surplus funding remaining in your account at the end of the current school year, an application to use that surplus must still be made. - If you do not intend to apply for further funding, you must submit the accounting records described above and return any remaining funding to this Department. - All records, both manual and electronic, relating to funding provided under the School Meals Scheme must be retained for a minimum of six years and be available for inspection.

Clár na mBéilí Scoile Oibríonn an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí Clár Béilí Scoile a sholáthraíonn cistiú chun seirbhísí bia a sholáthar do leanaí scoile faoi mhíbhuntáiste trí dhá cheann de scéimeanna: - Scéim Uirbeach na mBéilí Scoile ar scéim reachtach í le haghaidh bunscoileanna a oibríonn údaráis áitiúla agus a pháirtchistíonn an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí. - Scéim Béilí Scoile na dTionscadal Áitiúil a sholáthraíonn cistiú díreach ón Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí do bhunscoileanna, d'iar-bhunscoileanna agus do ghrúpaí agus d’eagraíochtaí deonacha áitiúla a oibríonn a dtionscadail béilí scoile féin. Buntáistí Chlár na mBéilí Scoile Féachann Clár na mBéilí Scoile le bia rialta cothaitheach a sholáthar do leanaí nach bhfuil ar a gcumas, ar chúiseanna easpa bia shláintiúil, lántairbhe a bhaint as an oideachas a chuirtear ar fáil dóibh. Tá sé léirithe ag taighde go mbíonn tionchar chun donais ag cothú neamhleordhóthanach ar chumas leanaí dul i mbun foghlama agus tairbhiú den oideachas. Is féidir le dea-chothú feabhas a chur ar chumas leanaí díriú ar ábhar, iompar suaiteach a mhaolú agus leanaí a mhisniú chun teacht ar scoil. Comhpháirt thábhachtach is ea Clár na mBéilí Scoile de bheartais a fhéachann le tinreamh agus gnóthachtáil scoile a fheabhsú i measc leanaí, go háirithe iad siúd ar ó chúlraí faoi mhíbhuntáiste iad. Scéim Uirbeach na mBéilí Scoile Rialacha Cúlra Tugadh Scéim na mBéilí Scoile isteach den chéad uair sa bhliain 1914 ar feadh tréimhse dhá bhliain mar bheart roghnach sealadach i ndiaidh Stailc Mhór na bliana 1913. Baineadh an uasteora dhá bhliain agus aistríodh rialú na scéime ar deireadh ón Aire Rialtais Áitiúil agus Sláinte Phoiblí chuig an Aire Leasa Shóisialaigh sa bhliain 1947. Reachtaíocht Cumasaíonn Ailt 273 go 279 den Acht Leasa Shóisialaigh (Comhdhlúthú), 1981 do chomhairlí contaebhuirge, comhairlí ceantair baile agus coimisinéirí baile socruithe a dhéanamh chun béilí a sholáthar do leanaí a fhreastalaíonn ar bhunscoileanna ina limistéir agus, i gcásanna áirithe, lasmuigh dá limistéir. Níl aon oibleagáid dlíthiúil ar údaráis áitiúla an tseirbhís seo a sholáthar. Ról na Roinne/Cistiú Níl aon fheidhm ag an Roinn maidir le cláir bhéilí scoile a thionscnamh sna scoileanna. Is é ról na Roinne Coimirce Sóisialaí údaráis áitiúla a athchistiú agus rannpháirtíocht sa scéim a cheadú. Féadfaidh údaráis áitiúla aisíocaíocht a fháil de 50% dá gcaiteachas ar sholáthar béilí scoile do pháistí cáilithe. Clúdaíonn údaráis áitiúla na costais riaracháin ar fad. Conas iarratas a dhéanamh/Eolas breise Cuir glao ar Rannóg na mBéilí Scoile nó ar d'údarás áitiúil chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil. Scéim Béilí Scoile na dTionscadal Áitiúil Soláthraíonn Scéim Béilí Scoile na dTionscadal Áitiúil cistiú díreach le bunscoileanna, meánscoileanna, grúpaí agus eagraíochtaí deonacha áitiúla, i gceantair uirbeacha agus tuaithe araon, a oibríonn a dtionscadal béilí scoile féin. Bunaíodh an scéim chun cabhrú le tionscadail béilí scoile atá ag feidhmiú lasmuigh den Scéim Béilí Scoile Uirbeach reachtach . Rialacha Cé a cháilíonn le bheith páirteach? Caithfear tionscadail a dhíriú ar cheantair faoi mhíbhuntáiste nó ar leanaí a bhfuil riachtanais speisialta acu. Tugtar tús áite ó thaobh cistithe de i láthair na huaire do scoileanna atá mar chuid de thionscnamh na Roinne Oideachais agus Scileanna do scoileanna faoi mhíbhuntáiste, “Comhionannas Deiseanna sna Scoileanna a Sheachadadh” (DEIS). Ach níl aon teidlíocht uathoibríoch ar chistiú agus breithnítear gach iarratas i bhfianaise an bhuiséid atá ar fáil don scéim. Ní chuirfear cistiú ar fáil ach do thionscadail atá ann cheana féin agus a bhfuil inmharthanacht leanúnach léirithe acu. Cad a chlúdaíonn an cistiú? Is do bhia amháin an cistiú a chuirtear ar fáil faoin scéim seo, agus ní mór don bhia sin a bheith ar chaighdeán oiriúnach agus luach oiriúnach cothaithe a bheith ann, agus é réitithe agus ite i dtimpeallacht chuí. Is iad grúpaí áitiúla agus scoileanna a oibríonn na tionscadail a chinneann cineál agus raon na mbéilí a chuirfear ar fáil, chomh maith leis an modh ar a n-ullmhófar iad agus an tslí a chuirfear na béilí ar fáil. Rátaí Bunaítear an cistiú faoi Scéim Béilí Scoile na dTionscadal Áitiúil ar ráta íocaíochta in aghaidh an bhéile, in aghaidh an linbh, sa lá. Seo a leanas na rátaí reatha íocaíochta: Conas iarratas a dhéanamh Cathair ar chóir iarratas a dhéanamh? Ar bhonn scoilbhliana a chuirtear cistiú ar fáil. Ní mór iarratas a dhéanamh ar chistiú gach bliain. Níor mhór iarratais a chur isteach roimh thús na scoilbhliana. Conas iarratas a dhéanamh Ní mór iarratais ar chistiú a dhéanamh ar fhoirm iarratais na Roinne Coimirce Sóisialaí do Scéim Béilí Scoile na dTionscadal Áitiúil. Ní mór iarratas a dhéanamh maidir le gach club bia atá i bhfeidhm agat. Mar shampla, má tá club bricfeasta agus club lóin ag scoil, ní mór dhá iarratas ar leith a dhéanamh.
