Green party on seclusion rooms

A Dunedin school has reportedly been mistreating students with disabilities through the use of a seclusion room.

Sara Cohen School has now undergone investigations by police, the Ministry of Education and an independent investigator.

This comes after the closing of a controversial seclusion room in a Wellington school and removal of funding for other special needs schools around the country.

Education spokesperson for the Green party Catherine Delahunty, spoke with 95bFM reporter Olly Clifton.
