An A-Z of Resources to help Support Your Child

 

Introduction

The majority of Parents/Carers will have the world-wide web at their fingertips when browsing for online resources or when researching ways to support their child through difficult stages. This can lead to an overwhelming amount of information and sometimes mis-information.  Therefore, an A-Z directory of useful websites and leaflets has been developed for our CCA community, which will act as a starting point for a variety of topics. The topics listed are by no means limited, so please get in touch with Mrs Stangroom with any further suggestions.

A similar A-Z directory has also been developed for pupils who wish to search for advice and support for themselves, which also includes suggestions for emotional health & wellbeing apps.
