Pupils with additional support needs and their parents have warned that cuts at a college in Glasgow will have a devastating effect on some of Scotland's most vulnerable people.
Members of the EIS union at City of Glasgow College are engaged in strike action after being told that the workforce will be reduced by up to 100 through the use of compulsory redundancies.
Staff say plans are in place to spend less time with students to encourage "independent learning", while they feel learners will benefit from teaching time.
That's especially true in the case of those with additional support needs, an issue highlighted on a picket line outside the college on Friday.
Laura Gallagher is a parent whose son, Taylor, has attended the college for the past two years but says he will now have to finish at CoGC because there is no support for him.
