Ms Delia Goodman:

On the AIM programme and the sharing of data, the evaluation is public for years 1 and 3. It is also a cross-government programme. Representatives of the Department of Education are members of groups and been involved in the delivery of the AIM programme. The data exists and is very much public. It is for the Department of children to share the data with the Department of Education. We present a lot on the programme and we present with our colleagues in the Department. The programme is available.

In terms of promoting the positive aspects of the model, it is such a positive model that produces positive outcomes in respect of the inclusion of children. I wish to also highlight the nursing support element of the programme. Some children have been able to access mainstream preschool through nursing support and a pilot programme is taking place. It is positive that children can attend with medical support and the support of an additional educator within the room.
