** We operate a Whistleblowing Policy designed for you to alert school if you have any concerns about the conduct of a member of staff. (attached below) **
Barriers to learning
We have designated staff in place who are specially trained to support your child's needs and well-being. The effectiveness of our work is increased through a process of information sharing with the home and we ask that you contact us immediately with any chnages in your circumstances - all information provided is treated confidentially.
Staff are vigilant in their ongoing approaches for identifying changes in pupil behaviour or other triggers that may affect a child's emotional well-being. For example in cases where a private fostering arrangement is put in place without school being informed.
If you have any concerns regarding your child's mental health, please contact Mr Paton or Miss Fazackerley immediately or seek further information from Halton's Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service.
