Fetal alcohol harm: How to identify and support children with FASD
It is estimated that around 10,000 children and young people (0-17) across Scotland have been harmed by exposure to alcohol during pregnancy. The brain damage common to all people having FASD will not go way -- and neither will the need to better understand and assist them. Find out what has been learned about what kinds of help seem to make a positive difference at home, at pre-school/school and in the community. Bring your experiences or ideas about what it might mean to improve the wellbeing of those having FASD and their parents, siblings and classmates.

Additional Support for Learning: sharing the lessons learned across Scotland
Enquire Annual Conference in partnership with East Lothian Council
Starting in 2012, the Scottish Parliament requires an annual report from Scottish Ministers in order to monitor the implementation of the Additional Support for Learning Act. The mandatory information includes four components: 1) the number of children and young people with additional support needs; 2) the main factors giving rise to those additional support needs; 3) the types of support provided; and, 4) the cost of providing that support.
A vital consideration following this reporting will be what we know about the positive difference being made by additional support for learning and how we can better demonstrate that difference. As an annual gathering of key people connected to additional support for learning across Scotland, the Enquire conference intends to spark ideas and actions that will further the understanding and appreciation of practice in the field.
