The Chair of General Purpose Standing Committee No. 3, the Hon Michael Gallacher MLC, said “The Committee is keen to hear from as many stakeholders as possible, including those located in regional and rural areas”.
The committee is examining a range of issues concerning students with disability or special needs in schools across the State.
Mr Gallacher commented: “This inquiry will look at equitable access to resources, developments since the 2010 Upper House inquiry and the implementation of those recommendations, the impact of the Government’s ‘Every Student Every School’ policy, and complaint and review mechanisms”.
Over the coming months the committee will hold a number of public hearings, including regional New South Wales.
