The Parenting Toolkit is a practical, accessible guide created for parents and carers who want to support their children’s development, build positive family relationships and feel more confident in their parenting role. It is designed to help you move from reacting to being reflective and intentional in how you parent.

The first isle visited last week, was Westray Junior High School. The highlight of Hannah's trip was hearing the lower primary pupils speaking so passionately about healthy eating, and making such positive changes. Well done! Here is a small example of some of the work completed with the Primary pupils.
