New Handbook for parents

Does your child need additional support at school? If so, you may want to read this new handbook from the Scottish Consumer Council: "Supporting Children and Young People's Learning".

Supporting Children and Young People's Learning: a handbook for parents when their child needs additional support by Shelley Gray and Jennifer Wallace.
This book gives the reader a helpful overview and a clear guide to the new system of providing additional support for children and young people created by the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004.
The book explores what is meant by additional support needs, what happens if a child needs additional support, how schools will plan for a child's needs, how parents can work in partnership with schools and what they can do if things go wrong.
If you can't find the specific information you require in the book then there are some really useful contacts for other organisations.
