Question:
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to AQW 24357/22-27, for an update on the nine Special Educational Needs Transformation projects to be delivered using the funding received from the Interim Public Services Transformation Board.

Answer:

Eight of the nine Special Educational Needs (SEN) projects funded by the Public Sector Transformation Fund (PSTF) will commence in the 2025/26 academic year.

The timing for implementation of the Enhanced Nurture project is to be determined, pending the development of long-term options for current Nurture provision, aimed at establishing a sustainable model for both delivery and funding.
