Let’s be clear about this. There is precedence for damages being awarded against unions in favour of children. If the Unions consciously breach the constitutional rights of very small numbers of the school population to their education then they risk a very big legal problem
For children with a disability we are now an outlier in Europe. Schools have already successfully managed a number of months in a level 5 pandemic here.
The plan for Thursday is for 2% of the student population. That is possible. We must do this for these kids.
From a child rights perspective there’s been a lack of focus on specific needs of children in various plans to manage living during the pandemic.
I hope @MichealMartinTD and his colleagues might now deem delivery of assessments and therapies to children an essential service
School is not respite! My children have a constitutional right to an education. To keep their routines and to learn in an environment that’s appropriate to meet their needs. This is in their respective autism units @AsIAmIreland @GarNob@NormaFoleyTD1
