Postponement of Partial Reopening of Schools
The joint statement from INTO and Fórsa trade unions on Tuesday, 19 January called for the postponement of the resumption of school-based SEN services until further discussions can achieve improved safety measures, including Covid testing, leading to the resumption of all school services. Consequently, the Department of Education has abandoned plans to open schools on Thursday, 21 January.
IPPN will continue to support school leaders while working with the unions, management bodies, the Department of Education and other partners to reach a solution.
