Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Special Needs Education: Impact of Covid-19
Ms Lorraine Dempsey:
Absolutely. We know already that families are having difficulties sourcing tutors who are registered teachers with the Teaching Council or SNAs. Pay is an issue for SNAs. Childcare, which the committee dealt with earlier this week, is an issue for staff signing up to the programme. There are many deterrents there to people being physically able to provide the support to families over the summer.
