Information for Parents

Good morning,

We would ask parents to read the following information as it includes some important information regarding changes in the law and offers resources to support children in this challenging time.

From 7 November 2020, all physical punishment of a child will be illegal, meaning children in Scotland will have the same protections against assault as adults.

Parent Club understands that being a parent or carer is the best job in the world but there will be days when it all feels a bit too much for parents and that it can be difficult to keep calm when kids are acting up.

To help families manage the challenges, especially during Covid, Parent Club have launched a Positive Parenting campaign which provides tips on coping with being a parent and keeping calm with their children so they can build a rewarding relationship together. Visit, parentclub.scot/topics/coronavirus/coping-with-parenting to find out more.

Please find attached campaign toolkit which outlines the campaign’s key messages and links to useful resources for parents.
