How is Additional Support for Learning working in practice? - Overview of the impact of a lack of resources on Additional Support for Learning

We have the paper work to evidence their needs and therefore the legal responsibility to remove barriers to their learning but we do not have enough staff to deliver these high expectations (Louisa Maestranzi) In my experience of mainstream schools in which there was no department for additional support needs, inclusion actually meant exclusion (Sharon Veel...

S6M-04108: Alexander Stewart: Dementia Awareness Week 2022 - That the Parliament acknowledges Dementia Awareness Week 2022; understands that, in Scotland, the event will run from 30 May to 5 June; acknowledges that the aim of the week is to continue the raising of awareness of dementia and to help improve the lives of people with dementia, their families and their carers; notes what it sees as the importance of acknowledging that dementia is not part of the natural ageing process, and that it affects the brain and makes it harder to remember things or think as clearly as before; understands that dementia is an umbrella term for over 100 different types of illnesses and disease symptoms, which may include memory loss, difficulties with day-to-day tasks, language difficulties and affected problem-solving ability, but that all the types of diseases are the same in that they damage brain cells and stop it working as well as it should; notes that Alzheimer Scotland provides information, support and dementia-friendly activities to help ensure that nobody faces dementia alone; is concerned that dementia can affect every area of human thinking, feeling and behaviour, but that each person with dementia is different in how the illness affects them, depending on which area of their brain is damaged; understands that over 90,000 people in Scotland have dementia, including many in the Mid Scotland and Fife region, and that it is most common in older people but can affect people in their 40s and 50s, or even younger; acknowledges that the causes of dementia are not fully understood; highlights what it sees as the importance of the researchers all over the world who are working hard to understand the causes of dementia and develop treatments, and acknowledges what it considers the importance of initiatives such as Alzheimer Scotland’s "Tea & Blether" mornings during Dementia Awareness Week to support people in Scotland with dementia, and to raise valuable funding for research and care.
