Over the last 12 months, the Scottish Attainment Challenge National Programmes have published four important reports focused on enablers of building readiness to learn, primarily from the perspectives of young people. We would like to invite you to an online event where the Child Poverty Action Group, Young Scot, YouthLink Scotland and CELCIS (Virtual School Head Teachers Network) will share learning from these reports and support a discussion to consider what children and young people say they need to thrive in school. Please do share this event with interested colleagues.
The session will provide opportunities to respond to insights from the reports and discuss with fellow school and youth work leads, Attainment Advisors, Local Authority Equity leads and relevant representatives from the Scottish Government:
- what young people are saying about enablers of their readiness to learn
- what young people, educators, parents and carers are saying about the role of youth work in supporting readiness to learn
- how we can collaborate to more consistently and effectively across the system to offer the support that young people are seeking
Following the event, we will share participants’ key recommendations for action with some of the young people who were involved in the earlier consultations. Our intention is that these recommendations, validated with young people, will inform the future development of the SAC National Programmes and influence thinking about the future of the Scottish Attainment Challenge more widely.
The event will be held online at 3.30pm-5pm on Tuesday 9th September. Please confirm your attendance by replying via the link below:
