Information for refugees

Refugee Education UK

Refugee Education UK (formerly Refugee Support Network) is a charity that aims to help as many refugees as possible with their education when they come to the UK. They have made guides available that show how the education system in England works. Their resources are mainly targeted at Pashto and Dari speakers but they will soon be available for Ukrainian speakers too.

Early Help and Team around the Family (TAF)

Many families, at one time or another, need extra support. Early Help and Team Around the Family are ways of helping support your child. If it is decided that you may benefit from either level of support, we will contact you.

The leaflet ‘A Guide to the Early Help Assessment and Team Around the Family’ contains details about each level of support, and what to expect from the process. You can view this below.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

You can find a whole list of resources to help with your child's, or your own wellbeing at the link below.

Every Mind Matters - Mental Health Support

With the sudden increase in the demands on parents and children to learn from home, you might not have time to look after your own mental health or wellbeing, or generally be upset, worried or anxious about what the future holds.

The NHS Every Mind Matters website has plenty of guidance, whether it is a parent, carer, child or other family member feeling worried.
