I am pleased to advise the Deputy that approval has issued, to the school authority in question, for the provision of 2 x SEN classrooms.

The project is being delivered under the Department’s Devolved SEN Reconfiguration and Modular Accommodation programme. This approach supports accelerated delivery of the accommodation and maximises assistance to the school for this brief, the project will be delivered from the Department’s Procurement Frameworks. A Project Management company will be appointed, from the Department’s Framework, to design and tender the project. This consultant will lead the project through the various stages of planning process and construction. The Department shall also provide additional technical guidance on the provision of SEN accommodation to the Project Managers appointed for this project.

The School Authority has overall responsibility for delivery of the project.
