DIGITAL help is available for families who are home-schooling.

As the country is in a national lockdown, Dorset schools are currently only open to children of critical workers and those classed as vulnerable, with schools providing remote learning for other pupils.

Dorset Council has compiled some online resources to help families, including learning platforms and creative arts and crafts activities.

Councillor Andrew Parry, Dorset Council portfolio holder for children, education and early help, said: "Thank you to everyone who is doing their bit and home schooling to help Dorset get through the coronavirus pandemic - you are amazing.

"I also want to thank our amazing Dorset schools who have been open throughout and remain open for our critical workers and vulnerable children, while also providing home schooling. Thank you to all school staff for your dedication and service.

"We have produced some online resources and guidance to help families get online and improve their digital experience, which I hope is helpful."
