With news of a gradual return to school in Scotland, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you of the NHS Education for Scotland COVID-19 related resources.   

In the Children, Young People and Families section: https://learn.nes.nhs.scot/29910/, you will find resource packs focusing on supporting a return to school, written by the NES Early Intervention TIPS Clinicians in NHS Grampian, as detailed below:

There is also a resource for parents/carers to support children and young people with long-term physical health conditions, with tips for managing anxiety about coming out of lockdown:

We hope you find these resources, along with the other resources that can be found on the Children, Young People and Families section, helpful.
