Northern Ireland or England

[WeeWeegieChick]

We're planning a big move from Wales due to divorce and other family circumstances.

My kids have SEN and I'm wondering where would they receive the best support, NI or England, specifically North East?

I'm thinking about post school education, further education colleges etc

As much as there are significant problems with the SEN system, NI has even more problems, IMO.

Are both parents going to move? Or if not is there permission?

@CaptainFuture Yes there's permission.

@flawlessflipper how do?

@flawlessflipper sorry meant to say how so?

In many ways. For example, limited support in many schools, difficulties accessing professionals, difficulties accessing specialist placements, problems with the Statement of SEN process…

I’ve heard that about NI , in particular respite and moving into adult services is a nightmare far beyond the UKs issues with this aspect of life.
