The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) operates within the policy parameters set out in Department circulars in allocating resources to schools to support pupils with special educational needs.

The NCSE has advised my Department that it deals with queries from individuals in a timely manner. In addition, all schools have the names and contact details of their local SENO. Parents may also contact their local SENO directly to discuss their child's special educational needs, using the contact details available on www.ncse.ie.
