  • Dundee's Young People Take Centre Stage in Anti-Prejudice Exhibition Launch Event
    Dundee's young people take centre stage in anti-prejudice exhibition launch event A thought-provoking exhibition which explores the life and modern legacy of Anne Frank launches today (7 June) at *Dundee Central Library to help mark the 10th anniversary of the charity behind it. Anne Frank + You, presented by anti-prejudice education charity Anne Frank Scotland, in partnership with Dundee City Council, draws on elements from Anne's life and diary that have a strong contemporary resonance. The result is a thought-provoking, stimulating and reflective experience for visitors – one which examines themes including the nature of prejudice, and the value of freedom and education. The launch event has been organised - with support from Anne Frank Scotland's staff - by a steering group of teenaged Anne Frank Ambassadors: young people who through their engagement with the charity's educational programmes have been inspired and empowered to challenge all forms of prejudice and discrimination, and have gone on to become vocal proponents of Anne Frank's message of social justice and equality in their schools and local communities. Several of them will take centre stage at the event, delivering speeches, presentations and songs. In the last decade Anne Frank Scotland has created over 400 such Ambassadors from the tens of thousands of young people it has worked with. Speakers at the launch event – which takes place days before what would have been Anne Frank's 89th birthday (12 June) – include: • Anne Frank Ambassadors from Dundee secondary schools*: the young people will deliver presentations on Anne Frank, and issues facing young people today.

    Additional Support for Learning in Dundee Supporting Learning in Dundee Information for Parents and Young People Dundee City Council Education Department 1 Additional Support for Learning in Dundee Information for Parents 1. Policy in relation to provision for additional support needs Dundee City Council Education Department’s policy in relation to provision for additional support needs is currently under review to take account of the new requirements under the Education (Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act which commenced in November 2005. You can find out how children are supported in your child’s school when they have additional support needs by contacting the Head Teacher. 2. What are ‘additional support needs’? A child or young person is said to have additional support needs if he or she is unable to benefit from school or pre-school education without help which is additional to that which is normally given to children or young people of the same age. Additional support needs can arise from a variety of circumstances. These fall broadly into four categories. The learning environment might cause a child or young person to need additional support e.g. a child or young person whose first language is not English might need additional support until they become comfortable in using English. Family circumstances may give rise to additional support needs. Examples might include bereavement, divorce, any kind of family breakdown, a child or young person being looked after by the local authority, a young person becoming a parent. Disability or health needs might mean that additional support is required. For example, a child or young person who has difficulties associated with mobility, sight, hearing, communication, autistic spectrum disorder, learning difficulties, or mental health problems.
