🏺 SAVE OUR CRIS TEAM 🏛️

On 4 March 2026 Councillors will decide on what cuts to services will be made in 2026/27, part of the budget consultation is to remove the Curriculum Resource and Information Service (CRIS).

The CRIS team provide an incredible service however they are not widely known. They offer support for teaching, learning, and library teams across Aberdeen City.

CRIS provide books, artefacts, role play materials, games, story sacks, maps, photopacks and staff development resources to schools, early years settings, childminders, home educators and social workers working with children 🧑‍🏫

Service users request resources for a certain age group by topic and the CRIS team will pull together materials that are age appropriate and suit different abilities.

Children learn when they are interested and the resources the CRIS team supply are so much more than just books, but items that will not only spark the children’s imagination, but support different learning styles and a wide range of abilities.

Look at the incredible range of resources our CRIS Team supply! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
