The Children (Equal Protection from Assault) (Scotland) Act 2019 was introduced in November 2020 and means that any parent or carer that physically punishes or disciplines their child could be prosecuted with assault. 

Fuller information about what this means for parents and where support is available can be found at the following link:

In line with the Scottish Government’s recent announcement that sanitary products will be freely accessible to all, the After School Club now has stocks discretely available. They are in the Room Three toilet cabinet (or ask a member of staff.)

Hello and welcome to our new website where we hope you will find all the key information that you need about the Afterschool Club. We hope to publish regular updates about the service in our newsletter as well as directing parents to interesting news, articles or resources about play and child development.

Please get in touch if there is anything you think we should add to our website. Thanks for reading.
