| Returning to school We understand that whilst we continue to experience the effects of coronavirus the return to school can be a worrying time for both you and your child.
As a parent you may be worried about your child being back in school and for that reason we have created a selection of resources that are designed to help you, and help you support your child.
However, whilst these resources are there to support you if your child does find it difficult going back to school please talk to school staff. |
|
|
| Early Help Early Help is offered everyday by communities, volunteers, charities, children centres, schools and other services.
Early Help is about working with children, young people and their families who would like support.
In Northumberland, we take into account the role of parents, carers and environmental factors on children’s development.
This means professionals and families are better placed to agree appropriate support.
|
|
|
If you’re a parent or carer of a child who you feel would benefit from additional support, please ask the child’s school or other involved professional to make a referral to Early Help First Contact.
