RBS Children's Programme
There's always loads to do and see in the RBS Children's Programme. Younger kids can catch up with the playground's latest book buzz while hot debates and exciting graphic novel events are designed to engage teenagers. Parents can discover new ideas for bedtime stories and brush up on their storytelling skills and our events on child development and education are useful not only for education professionals, but for parents and carers too.
