The Highland Digital Schools Hub has useful guidance to support families with learning at home.

Parent Club offers up-to-date guidance from the Scottish Government on children’s health and education. It’s full of hints and tips from other parents and carers who’ve been there before. It also has advice to help parents look after their own wellbeing and to point them in the direction of the support available.
