To ask the Scottish Government, in Inverclyde, (a) how many school pupils aged 4 to 18 have been on waiting lists and (b) what the average waiting time has been for an assessment for additional support needs, in each of the last five academic years.
The information requested is not held centrally.
Support should be put in place to meet a child or young person’s requirements based on need and not dependent on a formal diagnosis.
Information on the number of pupils with additional support needs, planning approaches and types of need are collected and published within national statistics.
