Schools out for summer…..?!

Indeed, school is out for summer but actually it’s been out since before the start of the Spring term.  It feels an age since we had the routine of school around us to help us manage our day and our children could socialise with their friends as they used to.  We know schools are often the heart of our community and act as a place of safety for many of our children who are living with or have experienced domestic abuse.
