Family Support

During these difficult times you may not know where to turn or who to ask for support. Many of us are facing difficulties and are not sure where to turn and so we have put together a variety of contact numbers and websites we hope will help you through this.

Online learning platform to boost workplace skills launched

Free courses are available through the new online platform, the Skills Toolkit. This platform signposts to free, high-quality digital and numeracy courses to help people build up their skills, progress in work and boost their job prospects and confidence whilst at home.
