Learning Reviews
The Learning Review approach stemmed from Scotland’s commitment to strengthen its learning culture. An Adult Support and Protection Learning Review is a means for public bodies and office holders with responsibilities relating to the protection of adults at risk of harm to learn lessons from considering the circumstances where an adult at risk has died, or has been significantly harmed. The resources in this category point to official guidance in Learning Reviews, alongside helpful tools and other learning materials. Please note, it is not a comprehensive repository of all ASP Learning Reviews.
