Within Dennistoun Early Years Centre we fully support inclusion and aim to provide an environment where we are able to meet the needs of learners. If parents are concerned or have any worries about their child's development they should speak to a senior leader. Before any additional support was planned parents would be consulted and invited to share their views. Parents are fully involved and are consulted on all issues relating to their child’s progress in nursery. Parents can also request additional support for their child such as help from other agencies. In planning for children with additional support for learning needs we follow the Additional Support for Learning Act (Scotland) (2009)
We also implement Glasgow City Council’s Policy “Every Child is included” Policy into Practice, Staged Intervention Process.
