Download A User's Guide to the Additional Support Needs Tribunals for Scotland

1. INTRODUCTION
This guide is designed to help everyone who has an interest in the
Tribunals. If you are a young person with additional support needs
or a parent of a child with additional support needs, this guide
should help you decide whether the Tribunals can help with your
dispute. If you work for an Education Authority or you have been
asked to appear as a witness, this guide should also help you
understand what the tribunal process involves.
The guide aims to give users an overview of what issues the
Tribunals deal with and what should happen when a reference
(appeal) is received. If you would prefer, we can send you this
guide in printed format. As well as reading this, you may find it
helpful to watch our introductory DVD (10 minutes) and again we
can send you a DVD if it is easier for you. For a printed guide or
DVD, or if you have unanswered questions, please call our
helpline on 0845 120 2906.
