Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Special Educational Needs: Impact of Covid-19 (Resumed)
Mr. Dalton Tattan:
We had evidence in that we knew there were schools out there in contact with the Department that were asking us and in some cases pleading with us, as well as parents pleading with us, to run the programme. At the time, we did not have the benefit of the health advice that came on 5 June and we were doubtful whether we would be allowed to do that for public health reasons. Once we had that advice, we moved quickly to supply that expanded provision for the categories concerned.
