About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

The Education Cafe is open to all kinship carers across Scotland. Each month our Education Adviser will be available during the online cafe to answer any education questions you have. No question is too small or too big to ask.

Questions that have been asked before - How do I get school to listen to me? How can I help with homework? My child is struggling to keep friends - what can I do?

You can send in questions in advance or come along on the day to ask questions.

Don't have any questions but would like to know what supports are available in your area? Come along anyway.

Make sure you have a comfy seat and warm drink!

A special focus during this cafe talking about the move from primary to high school.
