A specific function of the National Council for Special Education, through its network of local special educational needs organisers, SENOs, is to identify appropriate educational placements for all children with special educational needs. The SENO is a focal point of contact for parents and schools. My officials have liaised with the NCSE in the context of the child in question. The NCSE has advised that the matter has been referred to the local SENO who will make direct contact with the child's family.
