During Covid-19, Dudley Council have produced a Coronavirus Advice for Parents and Families page. This provides details of support, ideas and resources for families and children to stay as healthy and happy as possible during this challenging time. If parents and families are struggling, there is also a staying safe and well section, which includes information on financial help; and how to stay safe and well during lockdown. The council and DCVS have put together a lifeline leaflet that contains useful information on support on a range of topics on where people can turn to if they are struggling. 

Parents of children & young people with special educational needs & disabilities can find lots of useful information on the Local Offer directory.
