Supporting our Families

We do our very best to support our families here at Dunalley.

At the start of the Covid pandemic Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and Gloucestershire Parent Carer Forum (PCF) worked together as Strategic Partners to respond to the challenges faced by families in lockdown.  Recognising that families with disabled children or those with Special Educational Needs would need information quickly in a recognisable format from trusted sources. 

Since April 2020 5 editions have been published, bringing information to families from Education, Health and Social Care.

As we begin to move out of the current restrictions, GCC have been looking at how they might continue to bring information to Parents and Carers on a regular basis and address any questions which might arise.  Their plan is to issue shorter, more frequent, editions of this repurposed Newsletter, "Families in Partnership" during the school year to bring you relevant and timely information.

Families in Partnership newsletter is available here
