Don't miss out of Child Benefit

Hello,

We want to make sure parents and carers are getting all the support they’re entitled to, so we’re getting in touch with some important information on Child Benefit. 
 
In April 2024, the amount people can earn before they start paying the High Income Child Benefit Charge increased to £60,000.   
 
For parents and carers who have not yet claimed Child Benefit, or who opted out of payments and have income between £60,000 and £80,000, it can now be financially worth their while to claim. The easiest way to do this is on the HMRC app or online.  
 
We’d really appreciate your help in sharing this information with families, so we’ve attached a handy toolkit with content ready to share on your channels.  
 
We’ve also included some messages to help parents and carers access their proof of entitlement online or on the app, which may be useful when applying for school places. 
 
Many thanks,

HMRC




 

NHS Tayside CAMHS Neurodevelopment Parent Portal

We are excited to update you with the news that The NHS Tayside CAMHS Neurodevelopmental Parent Portal is now open to all.

The Portal is a valuable resource for parents and carers of children with neurodevelopmental differences, offering expert advice, practical strategies, and useful tools to help families in understanding and supporting their child. We’ve created a space where parents can find trusted information on:
• Understanding neurodevelopmental differences
• Strategies for everyday challenges
• Access to relevant resources

We believe this platform is a great asset to work with families, and alongside our online courses (see attached flyer) is helping to empower parents and carers as they navigate their child’s journey.

Please feel free to share this resource with families you support, using this short video https://youtu.be/XRiZWqFUEig and attached flyer, and encourage them to visit the site at www.nhstaysidecamhs.co.uk.

Best wishes,
The MHEO Team
