Covid-19: Special needs teachers 'overlooked by Stormont'
By Michael Sheils McNamee
A special educational needs (SEN) teacher has said greater support is needed for staff in the sector.
It comes amid increased calls for educational staff, including SEN workers, to be a vaccination priority.
Tania Marshall, who teaches nursery-age children at Roddensvale School in Larne, said "no instruction" had been given other than to stay open.
She said three staff members in the school's nursery had tested positive for coronavirus.
It meant the class was not able to continue with lessons as it normally would.
Mrs Marshall said she felt the "people who are talking don't have a knowledge of what we do in special schools".
