💚 Everyone deserves to feel heard.

This World Mental Health Day, the theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

At Brightcore, we believe meaningful support starts with listening - with kindness, patience and without judgement.

Across schools, colleges, workplaces and communities, people’s experiences can help us understand what support is helpful and where changes are needed.

🗨️ Ask how someone is feeling.
💚 Listen without rushing to offer a solution.
🤝 Ask what support would be helpful - and follow through.

You don’t need to have every answer to listen with care. Your experiences matter, whether or not you choose to share them.

The Mental Health Foundation has free resources to help us talk and listen about mental health:

In support of World Mental Health Day, we’re offering an additional discount on all our MHFA and Mental Health Champion courses for bookings made from today until the end of October.

Email [email protected] to receive your discount code before booking.

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day 💚

This year’s theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

It’s a reminder to listen to people’s experiences and use what we hear to shape better support in our schools, colleges, workplaces and communities.

People know what has helped them, what has been missing and what they wish others understood. These experiences matter, and they deserve to be heard and reflected in the decisions we make about mental health support.

It can start with behaviours that look like care. Jealousy may be presented as love, and constant messaging as commitment.

But what matters is the pattern, the pressure and what happens when a young person says no.

Staff may notice anxiety, withdrawal from friends or a fear of upsetting a partner before a young person recognises controlling behaviour themselves.

If we want to teach healthy relationships well, we need to explore these everyday experiences - helping young people understand boundaries, privacy and their freedom to make choices, alongside knowing where to seek support.

A question worth asking:

For a child seeking reassurance, an AI companion can feel like a safe place to talk.

Increasingly, children are turning to AI chatbots for conversation, reassurance and advice. They may share personal information, talk about relationships or seek support with difficult emotions.

A child may feel they are having a trusted conversation, while the technology cannot understand their circumstances in the way a trusted adult can.

As AI becomes part of everyday life, digital literacy needs to go beyond checking whether information is accurate.

We also need to ask: 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗼, 𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼?

This week, we’re sharing a few kind words from people who have attended our training. 💚

It’s especially encouraging to hear that our safeguarding training is helping governors feel equipped to support and challenge school leaders. That’s such an important part of their role, and we’re grateful to everyone who takes the time to share their feedback.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺: 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗞𝗖𝗦𝗜𝗘 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲?

DSLs have put a great deal of work into preparing staff for the new school year. As the term settles, this is a useful moment to check what colleagues feel confident about and where they may need a little more support.

Completion records show who received the briefing. A short conversation can tell us whether staff feel confident putting it into practice.

Three questions to consider with your safeguarding team:

• Has every member of staff read Keeping children safe in education 2026 Part One in full? The new overview is a helpful quick reference, but it does not replace Part One.

• Do staff know how to recognise, record and report a concern, even when they are unsure what it might mean?

• Have colleagues who missed the briefing had an opportunity to catch up and ask questions?

This does not need to become another lengthy task. A few minutes of conversation at a staff meeting may highlight a question worth revisiting or a colleague who would welcome some reassurance.

It is also a chance to remind staff: they do not need to have all the answers before sharing a concern.

✨ A little Friday feel-good feedback!

We love hearing how our training has informed, engaged and supported the people we work with. 💚
