I agree 100%. I refer to Mr. Irwin's comments in regard to autism and behaviours. As a committee, we have been told that particular behaviours are part of the condition that may occur from time to time. Where schools state they need a particular amount of resources to be able to deliver positive outcomes for a child they need to be given those resources, but in the case of SENOs, there is a specific allocation regardless of the number of pupils for whom it is proposed to provide education. That is extremely destructive. It is not only destructive, it is dangerous. How can we ensure better collaboration between schools, SENOs, NEPS and so on?
