Ms Helen Guinan:
We have certainly moved on. The supports needed in the mainstreaming process are critical; it is one area where much work still needs to be done. It is all very well to say that mainstreaming is necessary - as it absolutely is - but unless supports are there, it can become really difficult for people delivering any service to accommodate particularly severe needs.
