Support for Learning Review

Informal Drop-in Sessions

We are hosting a series of drop‑in sessions across Shetland to gather views from parents, carers, children and young people to understand what is working well in support for learning and what could be improved. We are working in partnership with Ability Shetland to make these sessions as accessible as possible.

Free childcare provided by Ability Shetland will be available at all in-person sessions for families who would benefit from this. Although some sessions take place alongside Ability Shetland clubs, all families are welcome, whether or not you currently use their services.

Accessibility and additional support

Drop-in sessions are informal and relaxed, and you can attend for as little or as long as you wish. Feedback can be shared in different ways, including talking, writing or drawing. If you or your child may require additional support to take part in the review, or if you require any content in an alternative accessible format, please contact us using the below details and we will be happy to help.
