Role

The Children’s Views Service supports children and young people with additional support needs (ASN) to share their views in adult-led, formal processes such as education disputes and Additional Support Needs Tribunals. The service also works directly with local authorities to develop and improve participation and engagement strategies for children with ASN and ensure their views are listened to in education planning processes. 

Through our partnership Enquire, the national advice service for additional support for learning, an exciting opportunity has come up for two driven professionals to join our team as a part of a new, collaborative project specifically aimed at delivering training and developing resources for education professionals supporting children with complex additional support needs. 

About Children in Scotland

By bringing together a network of people working with and for children, alongside children and young people themselves, we offer a broad, balanced and independent voice. We create solutions, provide support and develop positive change across all areas affecting children in Scotland. We do this by listening, gathering evidence, and applying and sharing our learning, while always working to uphold children’s rights. 

Our range of knowledge and expertise means we can provide trusted support on issues as diverse as the people we work with and the varied lives of children and families in Scotland.
