School Management Authorities may apply for funding to facilitate inclusion and access for special needs pupils or staff members under my Department's Emergency Works Scheme. Any application must be accompanied with confirmation of the nature and extent of the special need, suggestions as to how existing accommodation could be modified to accommodate the pupil or staff member and in the case of a pupil or staff member not yet attending the school, evidence of intent to commence at the school and proposed date of commencement.
Details of the Emergency Works Scheme, together with an application form for grant assistance, can be accessed on my Department's website.
