CHAI Update- August 2018

Leave a reply

Hi, I’m Stella Farrell and I’m an Advice Worker at CHAI Advice Service.

I’m taking over from Beth Hardingham, whom some of you may have met previously.

CHAI stands for Community Help and Advice Initiative and we offer free and confidential advice on a variety of issues including welfare benefits, housing problems, debts and budgeting.

Perhaps you are worried about paying the bills or wonder if you are entitled to any extra financial assistance.  I will be available at school every second Wednesday from 9.30-12.30 so if you’d like to have a chat about any of your concerns, please don’t hesitate to book an appointment through the school office.

There is more information on CHAI at Dalry on our web pages here.

Please find a letter from Education Scotland and the Care Inspectorate detailing the inspection on this link.

From it you can access the more comprehensive summarised inspection findings, which you can also find on this link.
