Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Council for Special Education (NCSE), which is a separate independent statutory agency, is responsible through its network of local Special Educational Needs Organisers (SENOs), for planning and coordinating the provision of education and support services to children with special educational needs. Each SENO works in an assigned local area with parents, schools, teachers, psychologists, health professionals and other staff who are involved in the provision of services in that area for children with special educational needs.
The NCSE has advised the school to which the Deputy refers that an exceptional teaching post has been sanctioned. A full review regarding this exceptional teaching post will take place in December 2018.
