As the Deputy may be aware the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible for processing applications for special educational needs (SEN) supports. My officials have been advised by the NCSE that no application for special needs assistant support was made to the SENO. It is open to the school to contact the SENO regarding any special education needs that the pupil may have.
