Ms Angela Corcoran:

The learning and development pillar of the SNA workforce development plan will look at training and development for SNAs on a broader level, because not everybody may be in a position to commit to doing a year-long course. We will have more individualised modules, based on feedback. There are opportunities maybe through education centres, Middletown Centre for Autism and others to have input into a learning and development framework that will continue to meet the needs of SNAs and provide them with the practical insight and insight into best practice in supporting children.
