WHAT YOU THINK MATTERS: ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR LEARNING

In June 2008, Common Ground Mediation consulted with parents and carers about how well we are doing in meeting the educational needs of children and young people with additional support needs in East Lothian.

The views of parents and carers informed the report ‘Evaluation of implementation of the Additional Support for Learning (Scotland) Act’.

You can read the full report of the audit at: http://edubuzz.org/blogs/supportforall/a… or contact Lisa Shine on 01 620 827167 to arrange for a copy of the report to be sent out to you. 2004′

The next stage of this consultation process is to invite parents and carers to tell us what you think are the main areas that we need to improve on and what actions need to be prioritised.

So if you are a parent or carer of a child or young person who receives or needs extra help with learning, we want to hear your views. Please come along to one of these consultation sessions:

Thursday 5th Feb, 6.00 - 7.30pm in Conference Room 1,
John Muir House, Haddington

OR
Weds 18th Feb, 6.00 - 7.30pm in Lounge Room,
