Venue: Online

Date: 2 Feb 2023

Synopsis: Childline reported an over 60% increase in the number of calls they received from children suffering exam anxiety during the run up to the 2021/22 exam season. With senior leaders in schools reporting similar concerns, it is crucial that you are preparing to support children for the 2022/23 exam season who might be suffering with anxiety.
