Education and Children's Services Policy Framework

The Education and Children's Services Service uses a series of national and local policies to govern how the services are delivered. In addition, our National Improvement Framework plan details how we will make improvements to experiences and education of young people in Aberdeenshire.

The Education and Children's Services Policy Framework sets out the guiding principles, policy commitments and long term goals that form the basis for policies and procedures which give direction to the planning and development of the service.
