The head of Scotland’s first complex needs college has said it will be a “lifeline” for families, after dozens of young people were forced to move to England for specialist further education.
Liz McConnachie’s remarks come as she prepares to take the reins at Capability Scotland’s Corseford College in Renfrewshire.
The institution, which is set to welcome 15 students for classes starting this month, has been designed to allow individuals with complex additional support needs (CASN) continue their learning beyond the age of 18.
