If You Are Worried
All staff are aware that mental health problems can be an indicator that a child has suffered or is at risk of suffering abuse, neglect or exploitation.
Where children have suffered abuse and neglect, or other potentially traumatic adverse childhood experiences, this can have a lasting impact throughout childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.
If a member of staff has a mental health concern that is also a safeguarding concern they will follow our Safeguarding Policy and procedures.
If a child, parent or carer is feeling worried and wants to talk to someone please contact the pastoral team on pastoral@newlands-tkat.org and someone will get back to you.
