During the review we referred to the Additional Support for Learning Bill that the Scottish Executive is currently preparing to introduce to the Scottish Parliament.

Such a Bill will promote short-term plans to longer co-ordinated plans to assist in removing barriers to children's learning, from a wider perspective.
