๐ข๐ ๐Trusted Adults โ Helping Our KS2 Children Feel Safe and Supported ๐๐๐ข
This week, during our KS2 collective worship and PSHE lessons, we have been learning about the importance of having Trusted Adults โ people we can turn to when we need help, advice or simply someone to listen.
We explored who we can go to for support both inside and outside school, including our Designated Safeguarding Leads: Mrs Smethurst, Mrs Hankinson and Mrs Pye. We discussed their important role in helping to keep children safe.
We also talked about trusted services outside school, such as Childline 0800 1111, and what children should do if they ever find themselves in immediate danger (call 999).
๐ข Sharing Our Worries
Across KS2, some classes have a special Worry Monster, while others have a Worry Box. These provide children with a way to share their worries if they don't feel comfortable talking about them.
Children can write a note to an adult or simply pop their name inside to let us know they would like a chat. We want every child to know that their voice matters and that there is always someone ready to listen.
๐ก A little conversation for home: Why not ask your child who their trusted adults are? Can they name someone they would talk to in school and someone outside school if they ever had a worry?
Our message to every child is simple: You are never alone. There is always someone who will listen, help and support you. ๐
Belong, Believe, Be the Best You Can Be.
