Parents whether separated, married, in a civil partnership or never married encounter legal issues all the time. We all wish we had legal advice on tap so we always know what we are doing but obviously that’s not possible. But the Parents’ Show is very lucky to have regular contributions from Neves Solicitors in Harpenden so that all questions parents have left unanswered can get an experts response. Googling the intent on these kinds of issues is just too risky. So we are delighted to have Mary McEvoy Partner and Head of Divorce and Family Law and Notary Public in Neves Harpenden joining us on the show this evening

We spoke to two Deputy Head Boys Oliver Nicholson and Nicolas Buxton from St Columbas College about their rugby world record attempt and why St Columba’s is raising funds.

Parents are keenly aware of the risk to mental health for children and teens today. Increasingly schools are actively trying to support parents who are struggling. One great local initiative locally is the Sandringham School Mental Health Conference that took place on November 22. We speak to the organisers and some of their many speakers and trainers who will be contributing to this day. Mr Stuart Kemp, Head of Pastoral Care at Sandringham School and Debi Roberts from Youth Connections Hertfordshire are the brains behind this initiative and will tell us why it’s needed. We will also be speaking to a selection of the many speakers presenting at the conference to give us a sense of the value of it to parents.
