I have to say I am hearing very different things. I am hearing there is a cohort of children falling through the cracks. They are being lost in the system because we do not have disaggregated information. In the first session, parents of these children said they are not being listened to by the National Council for Special Education. The EPSEN review published yesterday, which is a comprehensive piece of work, reported that 25% of parents said their contact with the NCSE was very unhelpful. Is that of concern to the witnesses? What are they doing about it?
