Meeting date: 1 February 2023
Stephen Kerr
Do you want to comment on the need for a balance between the practical needs of the children and young people concerned and their aspirations? How do practitioners best achieve that balance?

Jenny Miller and Rebecca Scarlett have not had the chance to answer the question, convener.
Jenny and Rebecca, do you have anything that you wish to add? The convener is indicating that she wishes to move on.

Are you suggesting that there is a capability gap when it comes to implementation?

If you can, I would like you to expand on the lack of learning culture that you have witnessed and which you just spoke about. Can you describe in more detail what you mean?

I thank the witnesses for the evidence that they have given so far and particularly for the succinct way in which they are identifying the issues that we face in relation to transition.
Something that has impressed me in the sessions that we have had so far is the relevance of the seven principles that were identified by the Scottish Transitions Forum, which I think are hugely relevant. I have a very simple question: just how successful is the work of the transitions forum in improving the transition process? I think that I already know the answer, but I would like you all to have the opportunity to put on record your response, starting with Dr Joshi.

My final question is about the effectiveness of careers information, guidance and advice in identifying opportunities for disabled children and young people. How can practitioners best achieve the balance between meeting the practical needs of the young people concerned and helping them to achieve their aspirations for the future?
All the witnesses have touched on that, but would Lee-Anne McAulay like to say a bit more about the effectiveness of careers information, advice and guidance and how practitioners best achieve that balance?
