Summary Report of Responses to the Consultation on Every School a Good School – The Way Forward for Special Educational Needs and Inclusion and the associated Equality Impact Assessment.
The Education Minister, John O’Dowd, has published a Summary Report of Responses to the Consultation on the Review Special Educational Needs (SEN) and Inclusion. In this the Minister presents the findings from the consultation, indicates his broad direction of travel and outlines his key preferred proposals. The publication of the summary report paves the way for the development of future special educational needs policy.
The Summary Report contains a factual analysis of the responses received to the formal consultation on Every School a Good School - The Way Forward for Special Educational Needs and Inclusion, which ran from August 2009 to January 2010. The Department has carried out a thorough analysis of every response received and reported these responses in the Summary Report and its associated appendices.
The next phase of policy development will take account of the breadth of opinion expressed through the consultation and build on this in order to address the acknowledged shortcomings in the present SEN framework.
The Summary Report is available for you to download in PDF format in both English and Irish; if the document is not in a format that meets your needs please contact the Special Education and Inclusion Review Team. We will be pleased to consider any requests for copies of this document in alternative formats such as large print, Braille, audio or in other languages.
