Additional Support Needs
On 14th November 2005, the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 finally became law. This Act is the most significant and far-reaching change to education law in Scotland in over 20 years.
This website is a brief guide to the new law. We hope that schools, parents and young people will find it helpful as they start to put the new law into practice. Additional information, links and downloads have been made available on this website where we thought they would be of interest or assistance.
