ASN Learning Network - first session

The network will:help to share best practice and innovation in the South of Scotland region in transition and employability policy for young people and adultsenable organisations to meet and learn through peer to peer organisation supporthelp to identify where gaps are in service provisionprovide insight and lived experience in accessing transition and employment, and work to influence the redesign of employment supportact as a credible reference group for statutory sector partnershelp to inform the regional economic strategy and therefore maximise economic investment into South of Scotland through funding.The decision was made to focus the network on employment as a policy area  - this was because both initiating organisations have clear expertise in this area, and it is a priority policy for SOSE in terms of economic recovery.Members are asked to champion the network by contributing to the professional support directory, actively engaging in meetings and sharing best practice with each other (including offering to meet outside of network meetings).

Thank you and looking forward to working with you!

Are you an organisation that would like to create meaningful change for people with Additional Support Needs through employment?If so, we are delighted to invite you to our first session of the ASN Learning Network. Started by Heather Hall of The Usual Place and Pauline Grigor or Borders Additional Needs Group, the ASN Learning Network is an exciting pilot supported by SOSE and facilitated by Inspiring Scotland. Its aim is to increase employment opportunities for people with Additional Support Needs in the region. We welcome all organisations that align with this vision and who would like to be part of the network. Initially online, the ASN Learning Network will focus on sharing learning, best practice, innovation as well as identifying barriers in employment opportunities for autistic people, those with learning disabilities and those with sensory impairment. Often regarded as a population that isn’t able or willing to work, the ASN Learning Network aims to turn these perceptions on their head and provide the evidence that this population can and does contribute to economic activity.The first session will look at the following:•	Aims, roles and remit of the ASN Learning Network•	Vision and Values of the Network•	Themes for the yearIn addition to the network meetings, we will also be engaging throughout the year with people with lived experience to fully understand different themes/ barriers/ opportunities.
