The Education Resource Hub is here to support you and your family throughout your home education journey. It offers a range of practical resources to help you feel confident, including lesson plans, live online training sessions, and pre recorded presentations on key topics. It is normal to feel unsure about where to start or what support is available, especially at the beginning.
You and your child can still access the same support from the School Health Service as families whose children attend mainstream school. This includes support with your child’s health and wellbeing. You can find more information about the services available, and how to get in touch with the School Health Service, in the Support for your family section.
