As the Minister knows, schools recently received notice of their special needs allocations under the new resource allocation model. There are significant concerns about how this will operate, particularly where the needs of specific children are not captured under the model or where those needs are subsequently identified after allocations have been made to schools. I remind the Minister that such allocations are fixed for two years. I ask him to outline the supports that will be available under the new model to children in the circumstances I have described.
