Apologies to one and all. The Bathgate forum has been taken down due to some technical glitch but is promised to be up and running next month while the VisitBathgate site is rescheduled to go online in April.

Hi, I'm thinking of moving back to the UK in one or two years time, so to make the change easier for my son (now 4) I've just been given this really useful link on homeschooling English and Maths:

After talking to Beth in this forum about her situation, I thought I would start a thread for those that are in need of urgent assistance to get back to the UK - for whatever reason.

Please feel free to post useful links to this.

Here are some links that I have found.


www.womensaid.org.uk

www.shelter.org.uk

www.crisis.org.uk

www.direct.gov.uk

www.dwp.gov.uk

www.housingcare.org

www.ych.org.uk



Please add anything that has either helped you or that you may feel could be useful to others.

I am amazed at the strength of some of the people on here, Ruby and Beth to name but two - not to mention the many others that have battled against the odds to better themselves or 'escape' a situation.

Anything that can help - benefits, disabled assistance, accommodation, temp agency links (decent ones that you have had experience with) - these could all help someone in a bad situation.
