The National Council for Special Education has confirmed that the local special educational needs organiser (SENO) sanctioned 5 hours resource teaching and full time special needs assistant support for the child on 11 October 2006. A school place is available to the child and therefore the question of home tuition does not arise. I understand that the SENO and Education Welfare Officer met with the family on 17th March to discuss the child's return to school and it is hoped that this can happen on a phased basis commencing this week.
