Text
It is an area that I know that the Education Authority takes seriously. I have outlined in detail the level of support and resources that are being made available by CCEA. When it comes to collecting data and information, it is area on which we need more information; I do not believe that we have sufficient information. However, we are working towards providing better support in the area so that we can deal with the issues more effectively than they have been dealt with to date.
