Additional Support for Learning: Supporting all students

The Advisory Group for Additional Support for Learning advises ministers on the implementation of legislation and policy. Nasen’s Jane Friswell updates us on its work and outlines some key priorities for the year ahead.

The Advisory Group for Additional Support for Learning continues to play a key role in maintaining the focus on the needs of children and young people by advising and supporting the development of national policy.

Building on their valued contribution last year, the Advisory Group will consider how we ensure a continued improvement in the way we collect additional support needs statistics and will also continue to work on reviewing the Code of Practice for Additional Support for Learning, taking into account of the provisions contained within the Children and Young People Bill.

A range of educators and education experts will help inform Scotland’s Code of Practice, consulting with professionals and experts to ensure legislation reflects the realities of daily support.
