national and local documentation and issues

A brief look at some of the things we will have to take account of, eg:

	Aberdeen City’s present policy on guidance in secondary schools
	Health Education 5-14 (to be published)
	Careers Education in Scotland (soon to be published)
	Higher Still Guidance documentation
	Drugs education and Aberdeen City drugs strategy

attached is Guidance: A Developmental Approach (Grampian Region, 1993) - still current Aberdeen policy on guidance in secondary schools

If you get a chance, you could look at Health Education 5-14 (consultation draft is in schools)

identification of issues that future policy/handbook should address

It would be most helpful if you could come prepared to suggest issues that our final documentation should address.

Please consult the enclosed strategy paper and see what you think of the partial proposals.
