The Department of Education and Children says it hopes to avoid making any teachers redundant as it scraps stand-alone nurture groups.
In future, the groups – which support children with certain special needs – will be replaced by what the DEC calls a “whole-school” approach led by support staff.
Three secondary schools and six primaries will be affected, along with 11 teaching posts.
Department Chief Executive Stuart Dobson explained what changes will be made:
Average Island GP patient list almost 200 above BMA's recommended total
Manx doctors have an average of 1,998 patients registered to them
Community swimming pool definitely included in new CRHS plans
Education minister insists it's very much part of the design
Work permit reforms delayed
Review pushed back until June 2026
Have your say on proposed changes to Legal Aid Act
Consultation open until 22 December
