webinar

Webinar: How schools are staying Covid-safe this Autumn

Date: Wednesday 8 September

Time: 12.30pm to 1.30pm

After the recent lockdowns, everyone is looking forward to a school year where teaching and learning can continue in best place possible, the classroom. Whilst the risk from COVID19 is lower, it remains, so schools across Tower Hamlets will continue to take steps to protect children, staff and the wider community.

This webinar will give parents the chance to learn more about the safety measures our schools will use from September, ask questions and hear from local decision-makers and public health experts.

Self care

Self-care for parents and carers

For many parents and carers, finding time for yourself can be a challenge as you juggle family and relationships with your home and work life.  This can be especially true if you are supporting a child or young person with their mental health.

With the practicalities of day-to-day life, it can be easy to forget to look after your own wellbeing needs, as well as those of your children, which can lead to feelings of stress or being overwhelmed.  Factoring in regular time or activities for yourself will hopefully allow you to enjoy the good moments in life more and to find strength during difficult times.

The following advice about the importance of self-care has been created with the Anna Freud Centre’s Parent Champions.
