It is vital that every young person in our society is supported to achieve and flourish. Improving support for young people with special educational needs is a priority in my Department's business plan and the Executive's draft Programme for Government. My officials are scoping the existing skills and training provision, including through engagement with further and higher education institutions; experts and organisations such as Mencap, Orchardville and the NOW Group; and young people, their parents and teachers. My Department, along with the Education, Health and Communities Departments, has submitted a bid to the interim transformation fund aimed at strengthening the skills and training provision and support for young people with special educational needs.
