Please note: Autism class places only

In the Department of Education Circular gov.ie-New measures to support the Forward Planning for Special Education Provision (www.gov.ie) it is indicated that parents seeking a special class or special school placement for their child for the coming academic year 2025/26 make contact with the NCSE.

There is a dedicated NCSE email address to be used by parents looking to contact the NCSE about special class/school placement.

Note: this email address is available to assist parents who have not yet engaged with their local SENO and wish to make contact with the NCSE for the first time in relation to seeking a special school/class placement for the 2025/26 school year.

If you have already make contact with your SENO and provided professional reports that may support special class/school placement for your child,  there is no need to contact the NCSE via this email address.

parentsnotify@ncse.ie is the dedicated NCSE email address you can use to make contact with the NCSE.
