Skills Development Scotland’s Parent and Carers Research
Skills Development Scotland would like to know what parents and carers think about Scotland’s careers services.
Feedback from the parent and carer survey will be shared with partner organisations.
Enter the SDS parent and carer survey on careers services: https://sdscustomerfeedback.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5yzz5v0qpAkhVzv
The survey will close at 5pm on 31 May 2021
The aim of this research is to ask parents and carers about their awareness and use of Skills Development Scotland services and how they talk to their child about careers. This information will allow SDS to better understand the needs of parents & carers and to better shape our services. The questions should take around 10 minutes to complete.

• career information, advice and guidance in every state secondary school in Scotland

• My World of Work, our careers website

THE IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS
Supporting Children and Young People in Challenging Times
East Renfrewshire Educational Psychology Service is delivering three online one-hour parents’ sessions in March. The aim of these will be to explore how Covid has affected how children and young people think, feel and behave, and to discuss ways that you can support your child through the current challenges. The sessions will refer to our Healthier minds website and resources (https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/er/healthierminds) and will involve input from partners across East Renfrewshire who support children and young people’s mental wellbeing.
