Children with disabilities and learning difficulties are going to lose out on therapies, programmes and extra help due to education budget cuts, a special school principal has warned.
The Department of Education announced on March 30 that two funding streams – Engage and Healthy Happy Minds – would be cut after March 31.
Caroline Clements, principal of Rossmar School in Limavady, Co Derry, said she has now been forced to inform some staff members they “won’t be back after Easter ” because there is no longer money available to pay them.
