Just Ask- Parents Special Glow Chat

All children can do with extra support at some point in their school journey. Whether they’re finding the transition from primary to secondary school hard, they’ve had a big change in the family such as bereavement or a divorce or maybe just need to be challenged more, sometimes extra support is all that is needed to help.
Parents have the right to ‘Just Ask’ for help for their child, either from school or the local authority, to help them navigate their way through whatever issue is affecting them. There are a wide range of reasons why children may need additional support for the learning at school, and these can be temporary as well as long-term. Help is entirely individualised to the child’s needs and parents are fully involved along the way.
Find out more about how you can access additional support for your child in a special Glow Chat to be held on Wednesday 24th March. The event takes place in the Parents Glow Group 11-12pm and again from 7-8pm.
A representative from Enquire, the independent advisory service, will be available to answer your questions and there will also be case studies of young people who have been helped and more information on the range of issues and help that can be provided.
If you think your child may benefit from extra help it is your right to request it. Whatever you think might be affecting them at school; all you have to do is ask. For information on how to make sure your child gets everything they need from their education call the Enquire helpline on 0845 123 2303 or visit infoscotland.com/justask.
If you require further information about this special Glow Chat or you just want some help to access it please contact Jennifer McDougall, Glow Development Officer – j.mcdougall@ltscotland.org.uk

Hi Kathy
You may wish to contact the Key Contact for Glow in your area – you can find details here:
http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/glowscotland/localauthorities/browse.asp
Some authorities may not be provisioning accout for parents at this time so if you speak to the Key Contact they may suggest that you can login at your child’s school or thet may have alternative suggestions.
I do hope this this helps.
