Ukraine support for your child
08 Mar 2022
The DfE have published an article to help families talk to their children about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and how to help them avoid misinformation.
We understand families may not have spoken to their children about this. However, with social media being easily accessed by children today they may pick up information that is incorrect or causes them worry. Even if your child does not have access to social media they may hear things from other children at school or from family at home.
At school the children are watching Newsround and reading the 'First News' newspaper we receive once a week, to help them understand more about the war based on facts rather than misinformation they may pick up elsewhere.
Please see the links below to see how you can support your child.
