@Breegemw@GarNob Classroom was being used as an art room.
Re staffing, its very clear that recruitment practices need to change. The Irish requirement for example is ridiculous when most sen kids are exempt. Teachers only taking up sen position to get full-time position is unethical.
@Breegemw @TerenceR78 @GarNob We have met several principals and parents who experience the exact opposite of what you're saying. Schools are saying they're full when they're not. And cherry picking. Just because you are not aware doesn't mean it's not happening.
@patricej36@rodericogorman And don't forget the allegations of abuse in schools on sen children and no one investigating, tusla telling families they're a child and family agency only and they only investigate if the abuse is in the family.
@rodericogorman@irl_open@oco ALL children need protection. The allegations in school need to be dealt with by a separate body. 'Tusla needs record investment as it faces unprecedented child protection referrals, children’s advocacy group warns' https://t.co/9uqeFlHysi
My daughter Caitlin deserves so much more than this. I will keep retweeting because she can’t and if she cant fight everyday I will fight for her. I always believed in justice, but I have learned not everyone does the right thing. Those that do are priceless. @TomClonan
Our heartfelt thanks to @MichelleGuy4 who took to the chambers this week to express her concern on the ambiguous stance from our new Education Minister on the harmful practices of restraint and seclusion in our schools.

Not a good day for special schools. Imagine dropping children from special schools at a Garda station, parents must be at home to meet their kids but what happens in an emergency??
@KODLyons@SaturdayRTE@ChildLawProject@rodericogorman it's clear Tusla are not up to it if theyre telling families they dont investigate what goes on in schools..There needs to be an independent body investigating what's going I need in our schools. Like HIQUA or GSOC.
Unless systemic changes are made that include Education, Health and Social Care our children and families will continue to suffer. #SEND#autism#ADHD#adoption
While item speaks to the UK it is very similar in ireland - acknowledging there is a problem is a key first step - the child first policy is broken - good on paper but reality for many parents who raise issues is that they&their child are seen as ‘the problem’ @GarNob@irl_open
This is absolutely disgusting. Why are the hse investigating themselves? There has to be changes to the legislation here. This is immoral. @_IHREC@rodericogorman
The mother of a non-verbal young boy "restrained unnecessarily" in a chair in school has said a watchdog's report into the case has given him a voice.

@tusla @into @NormaFoleyTD1 What about not only communicating but actually doing your job and investigating reports of abuse of children in schools by staff and stop fobbing everyone off . Protect our children by removing abusers from having access to vulnerable children.
@simonmlewis 9 million would go a long way in educating teachers on Austism and neurodiversity in education and really understanding all children can't learn the same way
@GarNob@tusla and parents in our group who reported abuse of children in school settings both national and secondary schools were all told tusla are a child and family agency only investigate if the abuse occurs in the family ..stinks ir corporate conspiracy ..more victims ..more abuse
