With the half-term breaking coming up, the next issue of ‘FYI’ will be circulated in three weeks time, on Thursday 7th November. (We’ll send out a reminder closer to the time!).

In the meantime, next Monday, 21st October, sees the start of Parenting Week. We have included, in this edition, a wide range of support and opportunities for parents, and encourage as many people to avail of these resources as possible.

 Have a listen to the fantastic Podcast on Page 34 on Anxiety-Based School Avoidance by Parentline NI, where they share some of the stories and experiences from parents and shine a light on this pertinent issue.
