Out of School Care: Rapid Review – Feedback from services on the way ahead

Coronavirus / COVID-19

Views of out of school service leaders captured in response to blog asking for their views on the future. SOSCN have collated all the information they sent in a rapid review to share with members and the Scottish Government.

Irene's blog 'Reflections on our journey and the way ahead': https://soscn.org/blog/reflections-on-our-journey-and-the-way-ahead

Ideas proposed by SOSCN and members include:

  • smaller classes/groups, which in turn means more staff, and requires more funding.
  • more activities such as music, art and theatre that do not involve touching, and less activities involving sand, water etc.
  • investing in Scandinavian-style outdoor and 'forest' models of care
  • larger premises
  • rota systems (including prioritising vulnerable children and children of key workers)
