Enquire

Sally Cavers, manager of Enquire, describes the aims and objectives of the advice and information service.

What do we do?

We are the Scottish advice service for additional support for learning. We are managed by Children in Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government.

We offer independent and impartial advice and information to parents, carers, practitioners, children and young people through our:

• telephone helpline – 0845 123 2303
• online enquiry service
• email address –  info@enquire.org.uk
• website – www.enquire.org.uk

We also provide a range of clear and easy to read guides and factsheets explaining everything from how to find out if your child needs extra help at school to what should happen when they leave school. See our Publications pages for more information.

Why do we do it?

Additional support for learning isn’t just a good idea – it’s the law!

The Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 came into force in 2005 and was amended in 2009. The law sets out how pupils should be helped to get the right support to become successful learners and explains how parents can make sure this happens.
