This new nutshell will supply parents with basic information about the initial role of this programme in schools and signpost them to where they can get some more information if they need it.

Message from Mrs Clark
It is with great sadness that I am writing to tell you that
we unexpectedly lost a member of staff yesterday.
Karen McLaughlin had been with us at Isobel Mair School since 2004 as a PSA and Instructor. She was devoted to the school and the children and continued to work on despite some major health issues.
Karen had scheduled surgery last week and sadly passed away
after complications.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the McLaughlin family.
