Minister for Education and Skills

My Department published details of Summer Provision 2020 – Reconnecting with Education including a home-based programme for children with complex special educational needs.

Parents/Guardians select and engage tutors/SNAs for the provision of the home based programme in a private arrangement which is then funded through the scheme.

It is the responsibility of the parent and tutor/SNA to ensure any necessary insurance arrangements are in place.
