Returning to School After Lockdown - Advice and Tips

It is a very uncertain time right now, especially as we start to consider the possibility of returning to school and what that may look like. When it is time for your child to return to school, they may have lots of questions or be really excited. The full range of feelings and emotions are all normal in these very unusual circumstances.
