Advice and Support for Home Learning

Dear Parents/Carers,

We wanted to write and tell you about a new national helpline we have found out about, which has been set up for parents and carers who may be struggling with home learning and managing their child’s behaviour during the Covid-19 crisis.

StarLine is run by a team of teachers and education and parenting experts, who will share tips and resources to help home learning. They will also provide advice to parents on how to structure the day and how to deal with difficult behaviour.

The confidential phone line will operate six days a week and it will cover all areas of the curriculum across all phases of education. The helpline will help parents and carers in the following ways:

• By providing access to a team of qualified teachers, education and parenting experts.

• By focusing on providing practical ideas, support and reassurance.

• By offering tips, techniques and resources to enable parents and carers to give their children the support they need to continue learning while schools are closed.

• By supporting family wellbeing and mental health.

• By covering all phases of education and subjects plus behaviour, pupil wellbeing and SEND.

StarLine is available to parents and carers of pupils from all schools across the UK and the advice is free and confidential. Please do call them on 0330 313 9162 if you need assistance. For more information, visit www.starline.org.uk or follow @StarLineSupport on Twitter.

The team behind StarLine will also be broadcasting a weekly programme on YouTube. In each episode of StarLive, a guest presenter will share practical ideas for home learning. 

Further details can be found on the StarLine website.
