Draft response to the Scottish Government’s student support review
The review group has not put forward a specific model or set of possible models: the
document instead asks a series of relatively open questions.
The consultation was launched at the end of June, with replies due by the end of this
month. A link to the consultation is here.
Attached is my current draft consultation response. It’s a work in progress, because
I’ve not had time before now to do anything with it. What’s here is my first go, entirely off
the top my my head. I’m posting it in this form now for two reasons. First, in case
it’s at all helpful to others also trying to meet the deadline: I’m conscious that this
consultation has been shorter than the SG’s standard 12 weeks, and that its falling over
the summer will have been tricky for those based in education institutions. Also, I’m
sharing it in case anyone reading it wants to remind me about relevant things I may have
forgotten. But in that case you may also want to put in your own response!
