Children with SEN must be a priority – Baker 

Sinn Féin MLA Danny Baker has called on the Education Minister to ensure children with special educational needs are a priority for his department.

Speaking after it was revealed over 1,000 children with special educational needs will need a school place in September, the party’s children and young people spokesperson said:

“Children with SEN being placed in September must be offered school places on time, and these also must be suitable to their needs to give them the very best start in life. 

“Sinn Féin have consistently called for an overhaul of the SEN system to ensure it meets the needs of children and families.

“I would urge the Education Minister to work alongside the Health Minister and the other parties to transform SEN so that it delivers for all children.

“We must ensure children with SEN are a priority.”
