Hundreds of children without places as demand for special schools spots soars
Briefly

The Children's Ombudsman expressed concern over the stress caused to families when children with additional needs are denied education, urging for equal access to education without discrimination.
Dr. Niall Muldoon highlighted the increasing demand for special school places and the challenges faced by parents in finding suitable education for children with special educational needs, emphasizing the importance of inclusive education.
Efforts to provide appropriate school places for children with special needs close to their homes are hindered by a reactive approach rather than strategic planning, leading to a lack of availability and increased pressure on families.
