View answerThe National Council for Special Education (NCSE) have advised my department that all schools were advised on the 6 June of any change to their SNA allocations for the 2025/26 school year.
If a school feels like it has insufficient SNA support to meet the needs of its students an application can be submitted to the NCSE requesting a review of its allocation. Detailed information on the NCSE's SNA review process is published on the NCSE's?website. Each case is individually assessed and is based on the student profile of each school.
