Families Connect at NCPS

May 4, 2022 Mrs Clarke Leave a comment

Families Connect is an evidence based programme developed by Save the Children UK that supports parents/carers to engage in their children’s learning.

New Cumnock Primary School has been chosen to take part in the Scottish Government’s Pilot Study and will be delivering this weekly for 6 weeks with the first session taking place on Thursday 12th May.

Families will receive excellent resources which they will be able to keep in order to connect and communicate with their child at home.

The commitment is only 1.4 hours online once a week for 6 weeks. This would be such a valuable opportunity for every family!

For further information or to request a place on the programme please contact:

Learning Together National Network – National Child Online Safety Campaign

February 23, 2022 Mrs Clarke Leave a comment

National Child Online Safety Campaign

A new National Child Online Safety Campaign launched on 8 February to coincide with Safer Internet Day. The campaign is being led by the Scottish Government with Child Protection Committees Scotland, Police Scotland and other a range of third sector partners.

The campaign aims to increase awareness of the importance of online safety to parents and carers of children aged 8-11 year olds, and reassure and inform them that the skills they apply offline to help keep their children safe can be used tohelp protect them online too.

A supporting Parent Club webpage includes practical ideas and advice for parents and the Parent Club toolkit sets out simple ways in which partner organisations can further support the campaign.
