Parents of children with special and complex needs have spoken of their continued frustration over a lack of communication from the Education Authority
as their kids are still without nursery and primary school places.
Speaking to Belfast Live, parents have said that they have repeatedly contacted the EA to find out what is happening with their children and have been told time and again that they would be updated within the week, only for this to never take place. "This is causing a huge amount of stress for us as a family because we want to prepare him for the year ahead, and after making such progress through Mencap we are very worried that if he is unable to get a place in a suitable nursery all of his hard work will have been for nothing.
"Last week we had been waiting for an update and heard nothing and it was only on Monday morning that we got a call asking if we could delay him starting school for a year, which I did not think was appropriate.
