NCAD 'regrets' protocol breach over student consent

The National College of Art and Design has advised students and staff that a breach of protocol has occurred in relation to consent on documents drawn up for students with additional needs.

However, in a letter to students on Wednesday the college said a"breach of protocol" had occurred that was"regrettable". RTÉ News understands that the breach relates to a section of the document called"Student Declaration". In a subsequent email to the family, seen by RTÉ News, the college confirmed that it had"acted in breach of the NCAD/NLN protocol in adding name to the PONS".PONS statements are completed by students with a range of disabilities or needs, from dyslexia or ADHD, to hearing or visual impairments, or autism or intellectual disabilities.

The letter sent by the college to students on Wednesday stated:"As a student registered with our learning support services we wanted to reach out regarding an issue we have identified in our internal processes". It says that it wants to meet with all students in our service"to make sure all documents submitted to use are correctly signed off".
