Earlier somebody mentioned a reduction in care needs. I cannot understand how there will be a reduction. As somebody else here said, if you start in junior infants and have a number of needs, they will just stay the same, or increase. The officials are jumping the gun. Changing this review system ahead of all the other things is not helpful to the schools and it is causing huge stress where it does not need to cause it. Genuine clarity around that would be really appreciated by all of the people I have mentioned.
