A new survey of parents’ experiences of home schooling during COVID-19 has just launched. This is part of an international study led by collaborators in Sweden and Germany. Dr Maddie Groom, from CANDAL/University of Nottingham Division of Psychiatry and Applied Psychology, is the UK lead collaborator.

The findings will be shared with schools so that they can use this information to adapt and refine the support they have provided to parents and children during this time. The survey includes questions about mental health and cognitive difficulties that parents or children may be struggling with, so the researchers will be able to help schools identify how best to support these children and families.

The survey is open to all UK parents, including University of Nottingham staff and students, and can be found here: https://bit.ly/3dy7BQL
