All providers of Early Learning and Childcare are required to identify, meet, and keep under review the needs of their children (Additional Support for Learning Act, 2014). Use the drop down menus to find out more about identifying and assessing additional support needs, planning for and reviewing ways to meet children’s needs, and how to access support from outwith your establishment when children have very significant needs.

Supporting children with Additional Support Needs

• Does your establishment have a thorough understanding of inclusion?
• Is your establishment using the staged intervention framework effectively to support children?
• Do you need to access any further development opportunities to help you in identifying and supporting additional support needs?
• Do you need support from other agencies?
