Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

Education for Children with Special Educational Needs: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Áine Lynch:

As Ms Quinn has outlined, it is really important to note that we get lots of reporting and it is mentioned in the survey as well, that parents are never consulted, they are never in the room and they do not know assessments are happening. We need to shift that. As I mentioned before, schools need to be supported and CPD needs to be given, because it is not just an automatic ability to work in partnerships with parents. It is a very complex relationship, so we need to support our schools better with that partnership work.
