I do not want to be difficult but I do not accept this. This is a fundamental issue in the area and I do not accept that resourcing in the authority tells us why this has not happened. It should have happened before now.

I will leave that matter there.

My final question relates to how the authority engages with families. Every day, most of us around this table meet family members who tell us they have to fight for everything, every hour of every day. It is a serious difficulty for parents and families. Does the NDA have a policy of engagement? How does it advise on engagement with students with additional needs and their families?
