School Based Health and Wellbeing Drop-ins

What we offer

In secondary, state maintained or academy schools, in the borough we deliver a weekly student drop-in. These offer confidential support to students with emotional, physical, relationship and sexual health questions. We can offer on-going support and / or referral on where assessed as required.

Whilst we actively encourage young people to share concerns and worries they have with other significant adults in their lives, this is a confidential service. If the safety of the young person is of concern we will, with the young person's knowledge, share relevant information with those who need to know.

In primary, state maintained or academy schools, we deliver drop-ins across the academic terms to reception, year 3 and year 6 parents. In year 6 we also deliver a drop-in for students. All of these offer confidential support and signposting for families covering emotional and physical health needs and in year 6 support the needs of children as they transition into secondary school.

Where can I access the service?

Contact your school to find out more information about the drop-in at your school.
