Kids with special educational needs 'hidden in plain sight' 

Lisa Curran, from Tralee, became involved with the Not Ok campaign due to her son Christopher’s experience in school. 'I had to move Christopher from one school this year because he was being left in the corner of the classroom playing with Theraputty.'

A new parent-led campaign is aiming to highlight the systematic failures that lead to children with special educational needs being “hidden in plain sight”. 

The Not Ok in Schools campaign is highlighting the factors that lead to ‘school placement breakdown’, which is when a family has no choice but to remove their child from school as they cannot cope in the environment available to them.
