The Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 became law
in November 2005. The ASL Act places a duty on Stirling Council Children’s
Services to identify and meet the additional support needs of children and young
people. We do this through the Staged Intervention process.
The Act resulted in new procedures and guidance with training for all
establishments on the implementation of the Act. We have also provided new
resources and information. We have developed a CD-ROM and an ASL website where
parents can get a range of information at
www.stirling.gov.uk/asl
You can get more information, including copies of the CD-ROM from your nursery
or school. Victoria Carr is our ASL Co-ordinator and can be contacted on 01786
443389 or by email carrv@stirling.gov.uk.
There is also an Additional Support Needs Parents’ Forum which meets regularly
in Stirling. Contact Lorraine Sanda by email
lsanda1@aol.com , or Victoria Carr for more details.
