Lessons Learned During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Our team have compiled a list of resources aimed at supporting children, young people and families during the Covid-19 period and for the transition back to school. We hope these will be helpful not only with regards to the pandemic but also in a broader context will suggest useful approaches for supporting all pupils with medical needs.
