Name change stresses inclusion and wellbeing in Falkirk schools
Mariner Support Service, now based in Laurieston, and Oxgang School and Support Service will now officially be called the Inclusion and Wellbeing Service 3-18.
The change was agreed by Falkirk Council’s education committee after it heard the name received overwhelming support when parents, pupils and staff were asked.

“I would also just like to say that the service is second to none!” she added.
