Committee on Disability Matters

Inclusive Education for Persons with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Ms Áine Lawlor:

In some of the teams there have been challenges around governance, caseloads and working conditions. There are also issues around pay and career advancement. We also have staff coming into situations where there are no supports around them. There are huge waiting lists and fewer staff members and that all makes it more challenging. If staff can go somewhere else where there is a full team around them and a more manageable service, they will do so.
