Health and Well-Being Team

The following members of staff have received lead practitioner training for health and well being.

Mr Hanson is our designated leader for mental health and well-being.  Miss Richards is our Trauma Informed Schools Practitioner and Mental Health First-Aider.

We have a number of policies and procedures in place that contribute to our safeguarding commitment, including our safeguarding policy which can be viewed on this page or on our 'policies' section.

Sometimes we may need to share information and work in partnership with other agencies when there are concerns about a child's welfare. We will ensure that our concerns are discussed with parents/careers unless we have reason to believe that this would be contrary to the child's welfare.
