Parents Notify – Special Class/Special School Placement
Parents Notify
What is Parents Notify?
Parents Notify is an online form to let the NCSE know that you are seeking a place for your child in a Special School or Special Class. Once the form is submitted, the NCSE will review your information. If the reports provided meet the criteria, you will receive an eligibility letter. This letter is required when applying for a Special Class or a Special School. This process is outlined in Department of Education Circular 0039/2025.
If you already have an eligibility letter, there is no need to complete this form again, but please contact your local Special Education Needs Organiser – also called SENO, for an updated eligibility letter. If your child is not eligible, one of our SENOs will contact you to discuss available options. If you are unsure whether you need to fill out the form, please contact your local SENO.
If you are having difficulty using the form, please contact us by emailing parentsnotify@ncse.ie or by calling our support line at 01 603 3346.
Please ensure that your form is submitted before the deadline of October 1st 2025.
