The Educational Welfare Service (EWS) of Tusla has advised my Department that the EWS has not received a referral in relation to this student. The Educational Welfare Officer covering the region contacted the school principal and the principal has confirmed the school had not made a referral to Tusla EWS.
The Educational Welfare Officer advised the school principal that she is available to meet the student and his parents/guardians to discuss options available to the student if he is no longer attending school.
