Additional Support in Education – a guide for Parents by Iain Nisbet

Join us as we host another Parent Information event. Understanding the rights of Children and Young People in Education can be challenging. Holistic Childcare & Education would like to welcome you to a presentation by Iain Nisbet, one of Scotland’s top Lawyers in Education Law.

After a brief introduction to Holistic Childcare & Education, Iain will lead a presentation on Additional Support entitlements in Scotland and how to access them. Topics include the 2004 Additional Support for Learning Act, Individual Education Plans, Co-ordinated Support Plans, Placing Requests, and more. Following the presentation there will be the opportunity for a Q&A session with Iain and the leaders from the Holistic Childcare & Education. The event is open to parents and representatives from advocacy and support groups. If your child is experiencing difficulty in receiving a full-time education that understands and supports their particular needs and strengths, this event will be of benefit to you.
