Post-19 Special Educational Needs Support - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘jurisdictions;’ and insert:
‘expresses its support for Caleb’s Cause NI for their work in bringing the issue of post-19 provision onto the political agenda; calls on the Minister of Health to lead on this issue and to develop legislation, ahead of the next Assembly mandate, to ensure that the provision of services for all post-19 adults with SEN are supported in all aspects of their lives; and further calls on the Minister to work proactively with the Minister for the Economy and the Minister of Education to develop legislative proposals which help to facilitate effective transition planning for young people post-19, addressing the potential loss of statutory support when a young person leaves children’s services and transitions into post-19 services, to ensure that families and their loved ones do not face a cliff edge in provision.’
