In May, we sent out letters directly to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Secretaries of State for Health, Education and Work and Pensions, as well as to the devolved administrations.
We have received a letter from Vicky Ford MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families in response to our letter.
Next week we will be sharing last nights ‘Practical ideas for returning to school’ webinar with Clair Warner, who is Head of Service at Newbridge Outreach in Redbridge.
Clair specialises in supporting pupils who have difficulties associated with medical needs, physical disabilities, gross and fine motor skills, dyspraxia and other organisational difficulties and other learning difficulties.
The session covers:
- New ways to help your child and young person cope with the return to school following shielding and lock-down.
- Risk assessments
- Transport concerns
- PPE
- What to expect from schools
- The questions to ask
- Books to help anxious children
- Hints and tips how to manage siblings and behaviour at home and school.
- How to make learning accessible
- Ideas and hacks to become super-inclusive at school
- How to manage anxiety and behavioural challenges
- And much much more.
It is a MUST watch for any parent – have your pens and notebooks ready!
