So important for parents and schools

Talking to a pupil about their wellbeing can feel daunting, particularly when you are unsure what to say or worried about hearing something concerning.

Our latest guide reminds educators that they do not need to be specialists to provide meaningful support.

The guide explores:
• Building warm, trusting relationships
• Choosing a safe and appropriate place to talk
• Using side-by-side conversations to reduce pressure
• Staying calm when a pupil shares a concern
• Being clear and honest about confidentiality
• Knowing when to involve safeguarding colleagues or seek support yourself

It also includes practical conversation starters to help staff open discussions gently and give pupils space to talk when they are ready.

Discord gives young people a space to chat, play games and join communities based around shared interests.

While it can be a positive way to connect with friends, there are also important risks for parents and educators to understand.

Our latest guide highlights:
• Contact with strangers
• Harassment and harmful behaviour
• Exposure to inappropriate content
• Gaming and socialising becoming a distraction
• Spending and subscription risks

It also shares practical advice on using Discord’s Family Centre, reviewing privacy and spending settings, talking openly about suspicious behaviour and agreeing clear expectations around screen time.

A message from school health

📢 A New Way to Access School Health Drop-ins
These sessions will now be delivered as part of the One Stop Shop, in conjunction with The Early Help Partnership, providing families with access to a wider range of support services in one location.

From September 2026, we are changing how we deliver our School Health Drop-in Service.
✅ What's Changing?
Instead of holding drop-ins within individual schools, we will be offering community-based drop-in sessions across multiple venues each month.
💙 Benefits for Families
🌍 More Choice
Access our service at a range of venues and on multiple dates each month, making it easier to find an appointment that works for you.
🤝 Improved Access to Support
If a query would be better supported by another service, we can immediately signpost or refer families to the most appropriate professional, helping them access the right support more quickly.
📅 Greater Flexibility
Parents and carers will have more opportunities to attend face-to-face sessions throughout the month.

🏫 Benefits for Schools
✔️ Reduces disruption during the school day
✔️ Removes the need for schools to provide a room for drop-in sessions
