Consultation response: Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Bill

Housing is fundamental to the quality of children’s lives and the fulfilment of their statutory rights. Children need a home to feel safe, keep warm, stay healthy, and to play and learn. Too often bad housing and homelessness have a profound impact on children’s abilities to learn and fully participate in school life. The additional support needs of children experiencing housing difficulties must be addressed if the Bill is to help all children receive the support they require.
