ASL Review Recommendation Actions Status of Action Progress Update
2.2 The Scottish Education Council 2.2.1 The work of the Scottish Education Council must be informed by the findings of this Review. Ongoing The ASL Project Board has regular opportunities to consider emerging needs and the evolving education landscape, in the context of ASL policy and the delivery of the Action Plan. This is critical to ensure that progress towards implementation of the ASL Action Plan, and the actions that we take, are relevant and respond to needs of children and young people, parents and carers and the wider education system. As part of our commitment to ensure that the work of the ASL Action Plan is linked to strategic educational developments, we have committed to ensuring clear line of sight to the Scottish Education Council, International Council of Education Advisors and other strategic groups. Connecting in this way enables the ASL Project Board to ensure that ASL has been incorporated into the agenda of these meetings since the publication of the Morgan Review and the ASL Action Plan was published in October 2020. This has ensured that any work taken forward through these routes, is informed by the challenges and progress being made in this area of policy and will continue during the delivery of the ASL Action Plan.
