“Supporting Children’s Learning: Code of Practice (Revised Edition) 2010” (Draft Report)

The fifth and final agenda item is consideration of a draft report on the code of practice in relation to the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 and the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2009. I invite members to comment on the report.

I am happy.

I am glad to hear that you are happy, but I must still ask: are members content with the draft report?

Members indicated agreement.

I am glad that members are content. The next step in the process is for the Parliamentary Bureau to timetable a short chamber debate, which will be on a motion that I lodge on the committee’s behalf. The motion will read:

“That the Parliament agrees that the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee’s 3rd Report, 2010 (Session 3): Report on supporting children’s learning code of practice ... together with the Official Report of the Parliament’s debate on the report, should form the Parliament’s response to the Scottish Government on its revised code of practice, supporting children’s learning.”

Are members content with that course of action?

Members indicated agreement.

That is great—I am grateful for that.

The committee’s next meeting will be on Wednesday 26 May.
