Yes, absolutely. In the school I was referring to, there is one teacher trying to learn the Lámh manual so that they can communicate with a child who is completely non-verbal and the said child does not get an SNA.
Ms Cockerill said something in response to my colleague about vetting. My understanding is that you do not have to be vetted for every school you work in.
