Being a parent is hard. Part of supporting our learners is supporting the whole family unit. If things are difficult, be open with us, and we will do our best to direct you to help. See below for a summary of support available to you.

 

Ceredigion family support services

On the Ceredigion Council website there is information about services available to support families. Family Support Services - Ceredigion County Council

Parents can refer themselves to these services for help and support. It is possible that the school will refer you to some of these services if they are relevant to your child's needs.
