\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>This resource uses language and ideas consistent with the Living Life to the Full for Young People (LLTTF) curricular lessons which many of the pupils in your school will be introduced to in PSE lessons. To reinforce the shared language and ideas, the LLTTF posters should be prominently displayed around the school.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We hope that parents will find Skills for Recovery to be a helpful support for their own wellbeing in transition out of lockdown.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
