We have been asked by the Local Authority to share this information with you:-
6. Support for Parents during COVID from Sheffield’s Parenting team
Isolation, working at home, and home schooling, are all additional pressures on parents, and we know being a parent can have its challenges. So, we have developed and gathered below a range of online materials and useful videos for parents and carers to support them in their parenting role. These are all based on the evidence based parenting programmes that we use in Sheffield.
We would appreciate schools and early year’s settings sharing some of these through social media channels.
