Falkirk Council’s Community Education Service runs a range of free courses (with free crèche attached) based on your learning needs.
Family learning takes place among family and friends - including mums, dads, grandparents and carers - both at home and in local communities.
It also features family activities. By doing things with your children you can help them get more from school and you can benefit from new skills, such as computer skills to having fun with cooking or kite making.
Family learning programmes and activities may include:
-
homework help for parents: keeping up with your 5-14 year olds
-
confident parenting: tips to help you help your children
-
anti-bullying: how to spot and deal with bullying
-
internet safety: how to protect your children on the net
-
parent support for special educational needs: extra help when needed
-
Kite making, playground games, badge making, healthy cookery and more
All courses are run in groups with you deciding at the beginning what you want to achieve. As the weeks go by, you can see how you have improved in the identified areas. At the end of the course you will be able to get advice on where you go from there.
