September is here, and children and young people will be returning to settings across the country, ready to start the new school year While plenty of children will be thrilled to reunite with friends and continue their education, this can be a stressful time for some youngsters, who may be feeling unsure about a number of incoming changes. Research commissioned for Children's Mental Health Week has found that 65% of UK children have felt anxious, nervous, or stressed because of school
This highlights the important role played by trusted adults when helping young people get excited to return to education, and it’s vital that parents and educators understand how best to ensure those first days back go as smoothly as possible Our #WakeUpWednesday guide offers expert advice on how to do exactly that, letting you know how best to support children and young people going back to school.
