Over 350 special needs assistants (SNAs) took part in member training organised by the North Dublin North Leinster (NDNL) SNA branch.

The training, provided in conjunction with Progressive College, was about behaviours that challenge.

Fórsa activist and branch secretary Jesslyn Henry thanked those that took part in the in person and virtual session.

“The two-hour session was extremely successful and demonstrated that SNAs are continuously looking for training opportunities to further their understanding of the needs of the children we work with,” she said.

Jesslyn explained that branches offer training at different times and encouraged members to get in touch.

“We would love to hear from you on what topics you think would be beneficial so please contact your branch to let us know,” she said.
