Additional Support

Children and young people with additional support needs who are resident in Perth and Kinross are supported to access their education in Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) settings or schools.

The inclusion of children and young people with additional support needs is core to the delivery of learning within all of the ELC settings and schools.  The support provided for children and young people with additional support needs should be as least intrusive as possible, based on assessment, and agreed through planning involving parents and carers, and any partner agencies who are providing support to the child.
