Frequently Asked Questions

The Digital Learning Map currently has five resources mapped to the Knowledge and Skills Framework and more will be added over the next six months. The Resources A-Z page contains all Learning Resources mapped to date.

The Learning Map is hosted on a website and is open access for any user. It is intended for use by anyone who works with children and young people in Scotland. This includes health and social care, education, third sector, local and Scottish Government, and other public bodies. It is not limited to use by mental health services or specialist services.

The resource aims to support professionals to develop their knowledge and skills about the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, so that they are best placed to enhance this. It has been designed to support services to make fully informed decisions about what learning resources might be implementable and sustainable for their specific context.

Once you have identified your target population and need, you can search using the filters options on the Resources Search page by choosing the Practice Level (Informed, Skilled or Enhanced) and the Dimensions you wish to cover. Further information on how to use the resource can be found in the How to use this Resource section.

The Digital Learning Map will be reviewed and updated every six months. This will be undertaken by the Psychology Directorate at NES, with support from members of the Reference Group who were involved in the original development. The process of reviewing and updating the resource will mirror the same rigorous process that was undertaken during the development of the Digital Learning Map to maintain a consistent approach to achieving consensus about which resources are included in the Learning Map, and how the information for each resource is gathered and reviewed. Fuller details about the nomination processes for new resources can be found here.
