Children, young people and their families are preparing for the return to education in September. With children and young people out of education for so long and given the current climate, this may be an overwhelming experience.
To help ease the process, the Council for Disabled Children have collated a list of resources that you may find useful. These include a face covering exemption toolkit, wordless stories for primary aged children and videos from children and young people explaining what their experience was like when they returned to education in the summer term.
