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

Learn from Iain Nisbet about the rights of your child in Education, what they are entitled to, and how to go about getting it.

Thursday 5th February, Muthu Oban Regent Hotel, Corran Esplanade, Oban, PA34 5PZ

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

After a brief introduction to Falkland House School, 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 Falkland House School. 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.
