Since 1992 the Stay Safe Programme, jointly supported by the Department of Education and the Regional Health Boards, has been available to all primary schools in the Republic of Ireland. The need to make adaptations to the programme for use with children with disabilities and learning difficulties became evident as a result of surveys and feedback from practitioners. In 1994, a consultative process between teachers, health/care professionals, parents and departmental agencies led to the production of additional materials, methodology and in-service provision for use with children with special educational needs.
