Additional support needs survey

A survey is to be issued to parents next week as part of a review of additional support needs (ASN) for school pupils in Moray.

It will help to inform a strategy which is being prepared to improve ASN provision in Moray within existing budgets.

Electronic and paper copies of the survey will be available and translated versions will be made available for families for whom English is not their first language.

The survey will be available on the Moray Council website and schools have been asked to include the link on their individual websites.

The deadline for responses is September 28, following which discussion groups will be held in each of Moray’s eight associated school groups later in the year.

Those people who have already expressed an interest in taking part in the discussion groups will be contacted nearer the time with details.

Moray Council area stretches from Tomintoul in the south to the shores of the Moray Firth, from Keith in the east to Forres in the west. The council and its 4,500 employees respond to the needs of 95,510 residents in this beautiful part of Scotland, which nestles between Aberdeenshire and the Highlands.

Famous for its colony of dolphins, fabulous beaches and more malt whisky distilleries than any where else in Scotland, Moray is a thriving area and a great place to live.

Headquartered in  Elgin, the administrative capital of Moray.
