Our first information session for parents was held on the 1st September. A recording is available here.

In this second session we’ll be focusing on issues arising since the return to school and providing further information on key topics parents have contacted us about.

The evening will begin with an update on the Covid-19 situation in Havering, an overview of symptoms, testing and infection control, and tips on talking to children and young people about social distancing.

We’ll then move into smaller breakout sessions. During the registration process you’ll be able to choose up to three sessions to attend from the following:

• Asthma/ respiratory conditions (led by BHRUT Asthma Specialist Nurses) – overview of asthma and Covid-19, advice on preventative measures and good management of asthma.
