Published requirement descriptionThe City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) recognises the importance of supporting the inclusion of children and young people, from 0-18 years, with additional support needs in Care Inspectorate registered mainstream childcare settings which enables their parents/carers to continue or return to employment, training or education. The Inclusive Childcare Support Service has been established for over 10 years and is based on a ‘reducing dependency increasing capacity’ model. The service works closely with a provider to build staff skills, knowledge and confidence to include children and young people with additional support needs in their setting. The service can provide direct support to a child and young person through the deployment of support workers who work alongside staff to create an inclusive environment within normal staff ratios (as appropriate) or allocate funding to a setting that has been assessed by the service as requiring additional staff to support a child and young person.
