We are here to support our pupils and their families.

If you, or a member of your family are living with the challenges of domestic abuse then we are here to help.

 

Our school is proud to be a member of a local charity called Child First Trust, a collaborative partnership between 28 schools in the Colchester and Tendring area – providing our schools with a range of services including Family Support, Counselling and Speech and Language Therapy. As part of this collaboration, we have been fortunate to benefit from access to The Listening Hub – a website funded by the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust – to help and support those dealing with Domestic Abuse and a range of other challenges.

This website is designed to support and empower you, our parents.

It provides you with a growing range of resources and support services to help you with the everyday challenges of life. This website is also a helpful and accessible gateway to support for those whose lives are challenged by Domestic Abuse.

The Listening Hub aims to provide a bridge (accessible in a wide range of languages) to critical support services – including access to our own Family Support Workers.

Should you be seeking support, but are unable to do so safely, the please come and see a member of staff who can support with this. We can provide a safe space and resources for this to be done in private.

We will be extending this website in the months ahead – continuing to build upon the feedback that
