SDS Parent & Carer Voice Survey 2024/5

Skills Development Scotland (SDS) would like to find out how you talk to your child about careers and your awareness and use of our services. Your feedback will help us to understand your needs and how we can improve our services.
 
In this survey, the term ‘Parent’ represents all types of parents and carers. This includes stepparents, guardians, other carers and parents. The term ‘Child’ represents the young person that you care for.
 
We are particularly interested in finding out about your eldest secondary school age child's experiences. Please answer the questions with this child in mind.

Red Weather Warning - All Schools and Nurseries - CLOSED

Glasgow City Council has taken the decision to close all schools and nurseries to both staff and young people due to the severe weather conditions forecast tomorrow. 
 
The Met Office has upgraded tomorrow’s storm warning to RED with very strong winds associated with Storm Éowyn causing very dangerous conditions and significant disruption.
 
We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our families but everyone’s safety is paramount in these circumstances.  
 
Thank you once again for your resilience, stay safe, and the expectation is for the school to open as usual on Monday from 8:50am.
