It’s been a challenging year for children and young people which is why it’s so important that we so what we can to help support their mental health and wellbeing as they return to the classroom on 8 March.

Some of these include links to the latest government guidance, tips on how to get back into a routine, important information on potential changes to the school setting and advice on dealing with anxiety:

• Back to School booklet for parents, carers and guardians with methods to help manage your child's anxiety, fix disrupted sleep patterns and build their resilience
