Special Education Teaching Support

Every child and young person should experience a sense of belonging and feel valued as a member of their school community. This is achieved through meaningful participation in all aspects of school life.

All children and young people with special education teaching needs have the right to access education in a mainstream class, The primary support for all children and young people in a mainstream class is the class or subject teacher including children and young people with special education teaching needs. Where parents/guardians, children and young people, and teachers agree that extra support is needed, this may be provided by a special education teacher.
