Two children with complex needs to receive schooling in July as court actions settled

The applications were originally refused on the grounds that the children did not have the specific diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder or a severe or profound general learning disability.

Two High Court actions over the refusal by the Minister for Education to allow two young children with complex educational needs to attend school during the summer holidays have been settled.

The actions were taken on behalf of two primary school children, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, who both have various educational and social needs.
