The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) is responsible for allocating Special Needs Assistants to schools to support children with special educational needs. The NCSE published details of its first round of SNA allocations for schools in June of this year. The closing date for receipt of appeals in respect of these allocations was 30th September 2013. The NCSE made a second round of allocations for schools on 21st October, 2013. The closing date in respect of this second round of allocations was 21st November, 2013. In relation to other applications or allocations which may be made during the school year, the school will be advised of the relevant closing date for any appeal at the time that the allocation decision is notified to the school. The NCSE have placed full details of their appeal process in respect of SNA and Resource Teaching Allocations on their website at www.ncse.ie.
