This seminar brought together policymakers and key stakeholders to discuss the next steps for Additional Support for Learning (ASL) provision in Scotland.
Delegates discussed the way forward for tackling the key issues around resources, access to support, and the early identification and assessment of children with Additional Support Needs (ASN) raised in the Scottish Parliament’s Education and Skills Committee report on ASN teaching, as well as the Government’s future approach to ‘mainstreaming’.
With The Scottish Government preparing to finalise its draft 10-year strategy on Complex Additional Support Needs - and following the £10m package to support complex ASN - attendees looked at what more might be done to ensure that young people with complex ASN are being provided with support in an appropriate setting.
Further sessions discussed opportunities for supporting the teaching workforce in the delivery of ASL and parents in accessing ASL services. Delegated discussed the need to ensure adequate infrastructure for ASL provision going forward.
