Managing Coronavirus in Schools - Risk Assessment June 2020

Dear Parents and Carers                 

Summer break 2020

We wish everyone the best possible summer break and look forward to welcoming our lovely children back to Summerfield from Monday September 7th.

We are aware that for many of our pupils and their families the summer break will come on top of an already prolonged period of being off school in restricted and difficult circumstances. During the summer break if you are looking for activities there is a range of useful information on the Breeze website. If you are experiencing difficulties, need advice or support, information is available on the lscp website https://www.leedsscp.org.uk/Home, or you can contact your local Early Help Hub 0113 535 1924 or Bramley Cluster 0113 386 2360 who can either provide information or signpost to useful support.

Thank you for your continued support.

Karon Wittmann and the Summerfield Team

Well-being on the Web

Here are some websites where parents/carers can get advice if they are concerned about their child:

www.youngminds.org.uk  – Young Minds are the leading children’s mental health charity. This website is useful for children (mainly the older children) but there is a designated section for parents and carers. You can also speak with a professional on here for further advice.

www.familylives.org.uk  – On here you can find advice about a range of different things connected with family life, school, mental health and wellbeing.

www.mind.org.uk – Leading mental health charity where you can access information and advice from professionals.

www.mentalhealth.org.uk – Another one of the top mental health charities – here is a link for the parent/carer guide to supporting their child’s mental health. Specifically for COVID-19: GOV.UK released this document for parents/carers to support their children through the current crisis. They released a partner document directly to use with children which is useful.
