Making support for ASL visible – Free posters

Enquire have created a range of free posters highlighting where to find more information and seek support around additional support for learning.

Designed to be downloaded and displayed in spaces where young people are, a series of free posters posters direct to Reach, Enquire’s website for children and young people, aiming to help young people better understand their support needs, rights around support for learning and what help could be available.

A set has also been developed for professionals looking for more advice and information on supporting young people and their families in their setting, and delivering support for learning.

Further data, pulled from the Pupil Census (Scottish Government, 2025), identified class teachers were once again the primary source of support in both primary and secondary school settings.

But teachers, education, support and early years staff are not expected to deliver this alone.
