Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Employment Strategy and Impact on Disabled Persons in the Workplace: Discussion
Dr. Rosalyn Tamming:
I want to add to what Ms Shakespeare said. She made a very good point about special schools. Committee members may be aware that special schools are designated as primary schools even though they educate children up to the age of 18. Therefore, they do not get an allocation for career guidance in the same way as a typical secondary school. We are doing work on career guidance for students with disabilities and how it can be improved.
