This circular was issued on foot of a comprehensive court judgement which confirmed that the NCSE may nominate appropriate persons to assist in the AON process. Teachers were held to be appropriate persons in the judgement and the information required to fill in the NCSE report form is that which a teacher would have as a result of their professional knowledge or expertise from working with children and young people. The report form does not constitute an assessment.
Is there a circular on AON?
Circular 0025/2024 Report of Education Needs for the Purpose of the Assessment of Need Disability Act 2005 issued in April 2024.
