Back Into School: Resources for Families

The Children’s Commissioner provides a wide range of helpful resources to support families as children return to school. These include guidance on school attendance, how to apply for school places, and how to check eligibility for free school meals. Families can also access support for children moving from primary to secondary school through activity packs, as well as advice on mental health, including NHS guidance, BBC Bitesize wellbeing tips, and support from Young Minds. There are also dedicated resources to help parents understand and respond to bullying, alongside links to further support services.
