A review of the needs of the pupil referred to by the Deputy found that he no longer requires full-time individual SNA support and that his needs can be met through the sharing of a full-time SNA with another pupil in the school. This decision has been communicated to the school. Should the school wish to appeal this decision, it should contact its local special needs organiser, who has responsibility for processing applications for special education supports.
