Your school is here to help in more ways than providing an education for your child(ren). We can signpost you to many different supports and agencies.
This is the financial support / advice / grants section. If you are needing support but still unsure how to access it or where to start, please email me on rachelcolclough@shetland.gov.uk and together we can figure it out.
