Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

An Inclusive Education for an Inclusive Society: Discussion

Ms Helen Walsh:

I really hope we do. We are very streamlined to it at the moment. We have curriculum leads and advisers to do it and to pick it up. We are a finely tuned machine at this point. We expected this year that there would be a responsive model and our advisers are highly trained in responding to it. We will go through a level of triage - for want of better language - to see where the real valid cases are in terms of the review. I have mentioned homelessness, trauma and those early years of children developing in schools with a disproportionate number of students with additional needs the school must respond to. We will be moving into that space as efficiently as we can. We fully intend to get the reviews complete. If in any way it matches our provision we will communicate that clearly to the system.
