Support for parents during the COVID Lockdown
Dear Parents
Bedford Borough Educational Psychology team are keen to ensure that families recieve the best support possible during these challenging times. Although they are oinly able to supply limited face to face support, they are able to provide 'drop in' sesions and have asked that we inform you of the following.
It’s imperative that we can continue to support the wellbeing of parents and children/ young people so we are holding daily virtual drop ins for parents and teachers so they can access advice from an EP throughout the school closure period. The Drop Ins will commence Monday 11th January from 9am – 11am and will run daily. To book a 30 minute slot parents can email school.support@bedford.gov.uk detailing their name, telephone number, child’s school and brief description of query/advice needed. We will email back with forthcoming available slots for parents to book.
Kind regards
Mrs Campbell
DEputy Head teacher / SENDCo
