A *majority* of pupils with additional support needs in Scotland are not having their needs met, according to a new report. It says that the principle of presumed inclusion is sound, but that the reality for pupils has been very different. heraldscotland.com/news/24317769.…

We’ve been talking about this Scottish Children's Services Coalition for some time now. The situation is untenable and needs to be immediately addressed by Scottish Government as ASN numbers swell but support levels falter in mainstream settings.

We call for funding raised through #VAT increase on school fees to be used to support children with additional support needs (ASN), and raise concerns over the impact on those who may be pushed into the already over-stretched state sector SCIS schools ireland-live.ie/news/scotland/…

Today’s programme for government failed to detail how Scottish Government would meet the acute need for support for pupils with Additional Support Needs. Scottish Children's Services Coalition and Spark of Genius have repeatedly raised the need for systemic change to tackle a potential lost generation of pupils.

We have for some time raised concerns over a shortage of spaces in special schools to address needs of an increasing number of pupils with additional support needs. This has an impact not only on them, but on teachers and peers Enquire Reach Calum Ross scotsman.com/education/scot…
