Help and Support - Covid19
During school closures, a number of organisations have been supporting schools, students and their families in providing online resources for free. Please see appendix 1 for the full list.
In addition to this, a number of settings have been seeking guidance on how to talk to children about the virus and what they can in turn advise parents to do. Both Childline and Newsround have some free resources that schools and families can access:
