There are no current plans to establish new, or close any existing behaviour centres.
The objective of behaviour centres is to provide students disengaged from mainstream education with access to a more appropriate learning environment suited to their needs.
I have requested the Department of Education undertake the work required to reassure me that the current model of behaviour centres is meeting this objective and is appropriate to the specific needs of students currently disengaged from mainstream education.
