It is imperative that funding to Early Years be significantly increased to enable Practitioners resource and support children in their care with all needs individually. In the best interests of Equality and Diversity, every child has the right to access supports necessary for them to fulfill their individual potential.

This issue needs to be addressed. So many children struggling when they should be thriving.

It's a shame how government ignore this serious problem for early years practitioners and how they are inadequately resourced to support children with additional needs.

Always so quick to take from the people, there needs to be more support given to our kids especially the kids with special needs, these children are Irelands future, supporting them now will make huge difference to them and the lives they will have...

everychild deserves to be given the same opportunities as everyone else. Teachers need support, parents need guidance and the children need help!

The HSE pays 8.65 an hour for special needs assistants. This needs to be increased. Children with additional needs need a sna with specialised skills to support and encourage their development. The sna neds to have a high level of knowledge and skill. 8.65 is not enough to employ a practitioner of this standard.

improving quality in childcare cannot happen if practitioners are not at least listened to. we must advocate for children and ensure our voices are heard so that their needs can be met- it is their right.
