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.

The national Telecare Development Programme for Scotland was launched in 2006. Training and raising awareness are key issues for this programme. This article describes four practice and training guides published in 2010 by the Telecare Development Programme designed to promote the effective and ethical use of telecare for people with differing needs. The four guides are: Telecare and Learning Disability; Telecare and Dementia; Telecare and Physical Disability; and Telecare and Sensory Impairment. This article summarises the background to this initiative and the content of the guides. Several issues, such as the focus on specialist areas of need, the generic content and the apparent demand for this kind of publication, are discussed. The article concludes with some ideas for further publications, and reflection on the potential for converting these texts into an e-learning resource.
