This report sets out the strategic vision for learning provision for children and young people with complex additional support needs in Scotland. The review process was undertaken in 2 phases, and included working groups, a call for evidence, parental engagement events, a literature review, and in-depth interviews with children and young people in a range of educational settings. The report sets out the findings and recommendations for provision across 4 themed areas: culture, complex additional support needs and expertise; policy choice and learning experiences; interagency working, planning and review; and national and local provision and the role of the Scottish Government. A total of 21 recommendations are made across these 4 areas. Three case studies of excellent practice are presented which demonstrate that getting the right help at the right time in the right place does make a real difference to the lives of children and young people with complex additional support needs and their families.
