Introduction
The purpose of this document is to support implementation of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 by sharing information about practice as widely as possible.
It features practice examples that were chosen by the 700 delegates from education, social services, health, the voluntary sector and parents' groups who attended ten additional support for learning sharing practice seminars across Scotland in October and November 2006.
Practice is continually evolving, with new and innovative ideas introduced to improve practice. This is therefore a live document and readers are invited to update existing practice examples and add new practice examples by emailing:ASLAct@scotland.gsi.gov.uk.
Delegates who attended the seminars were also given the opportunity to note concerns that they have about implementation of the Act. These concerns have been compiled and discussed by the Additional Support for Learning Advisory Group, a reference group of expert professionals and stakeholders who are advising the Scottish Executive education department on implementation of the Act.
