This Supplement (pursuant to Article 4 of the Education (Northern Ireland) Order 1996 ("the 1996 Order")) gives practical guidance in respect of the discharge by Education and Library Boards and the Boards of Governors of grant-aided schools of their functions under Part II of the 1996 Order as amended by the Special Educational Needs and Disability (Northern Ireland) Order 2005.

The Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Code of Practice on the Identification and Assessment of Special Educational Needs (the Code of Practice).
