✍️ Improving SEN Classroom Support – Have Your Say! The Education Authority has highlighted why our current system of Special Educational Needs (SEN) classroom support isn’t working well enough and why change is essential. 📣 Every pupil who requires individual classroom assistant support will continue to receive it. This is about ensuring the most effective and appropriate support is in place in each case. ✅ This is not about reducing classroom assistant numbers ✅ No redundancies are planned ✅ A focus on expanding specialist provision and enhancing external support for schools 🗣️ Our 8-week public consultation is now open, and your voice matters. These reforms aim to build a stronger, more inclusive system for children, families, and schools — and the EA wants to hear from you. 👉 Take part in the consultation and help shape the future of SEN support: ow.ly/Uveb50YyOub 📖 Read more from Tomas Adell, Chief Transformation Officer: ow.ly/hbs950YyOu9 #EAHaveYourSay #EnhancedSupportModel #SEN #EducationNI
