Parents & Carers Group Update
Due to the pandemic, IWBS Family Support Department has had to think outside the box in order to follow Scottish Government guidelines and still be able to offer support to the parents and carers.
From telephone support, walk & talks to garden visits, our group has now progressed to being able to have their first Pop Up Parents and Carers Group.
Staff, parents and carers alike were delighted to be able to meet in a small group in our local park.
The advice and support parents and carers give each other is invaluable and our parents and carers tell us they have missed this throughout the lockdowns.
