Section List / Section 3 - Current Services and Opportunities / Item 28 - Education
Definition : Courses and training the person is currently receiving. Courses should be divided into those specifically for people with LD or ASD and mixed courses. The number of days per week the person is attending for each course type should be recorded. “Courses for people with LD or ASD” means that the course includes only people with learning disabilities and/or ASD, whilst mixed courses are open to all.
Purpose : Improving access to education is a key element of “The same as you?” so this can be an important element in monitoring implementation of local and national strategies.
Recording Guidance : All education courses currently being attended should be accounted for here.
The time spent in education should be recorded to the nearest half day.
For example -
If someone visits a college 3 afternoons a week they should be entered under 1.5 Days
If someone visits a college 5 mornings a week they should be entered under 2.5 Days
If someone visits a college for 5 full days a week they should be entered under 3 Days +
Codes : From the Scottish Executive, “The same as you?” Annual Survey 2004
