The Minister for Special Education and Inclusion, Ms Josepha Madigan, wishes to explore people’s experiences of the EPSEN Act, 2004. This will be done using focus group research.

The focus groups will explore various viewpoints and discuss how participants have experienced the education system. This may be as a child (under 18), a student (over 18), a young adult who has gone through the education system, a parent/guardian, a staff member or as a member of the general public. These focus groups will commence from 27th November. 

The attached invitation flyer is from UCD who are conducting the focus groups on behalf of the review committee. Please reply directly to UCD indicating your preference to be included in these focus groups. The email address is epsen@ucd.ie.
