Targeted support

In addition to the support provided at the Universals level. Targeted support includes access to support from outwith school but still within Education services e.g. Educational Psychology, outreach specialist teachers.  Also includes specialist support from agencies outwith education e.g. Allied health professionals.

Usually level 3 of the Staged Level of Intervention framework.

Additional or targeted support, tailored to children and young people’s individual circumstances. This could be at any point of their learning journey or, for some, throughout the journey. It encompasses children and young people requiring more choices and more chances to achieve positive, sustained post-school destinations. This “targeted” support is usually, but not exclusively, delivered by staff with additional training and expertise.

Tariff score

Subject courses and individual units are awarded tariff points. The number of tariff points awarded depends on: the SCQF level of the course or unit; whether the full course has been undertaken and assessed; and the grade achieved for the course. The average tariff scores of a school's leavers are not directly comparable with other schools'. This is because they are influenced by a range of factors including the number of subjects young people take in the senior phase.
