PQ 199
199. Deputy John McGuinness asked the Minister for Education and Youth if she will ensure that the current role of SNA is not diminished in any way and that the behavioural, emotional and sensory needs of the child will remain explicitly recognised in SNA support; if a more flexible rolling review process will be provided so children’s changing needs can be supported in real time; if she will ensure greater transparency around the redeployment scheme and the criteria used; if she will continue to expand the number of SNAs in classrooms and special needs units across the country; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
