Report of the transitions - inter-departmental working group

In late 2002, and in response to a growing lobby from parents and public representatives, the then Ministers of Education, Health, Social Services and Public Safety, and Employment and Learning asked the 3 Departments to form an Inter-Departmental Group (IDG) to consider how the transitions process could be improved for young people with Statements of Special Educational Needs. The IDG membership also included a representative from the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI).
