## Notice

The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) recognises the importance of supporting the inclusion of children and young people, from 0-18 years, with additional support needs in Care Inspectorate registered mainstream childcare settings which enables their parents/carers to continue or return to employment, training or education. The Inclusive Childcare Support Service has been established for over 10 years and is based on a 'reducing dependency increasing capacity' model.
