Extra Support for Our Families

We are committed to supporting not only our pupils but also their families. In addition to the pastoral care we already provide, we are delighted to share that we now have an Early Help Practitioner working in partnership with us through the Consett Family Hub.

This means that, if needed, parents have access to an extra layer of support for children and families—particularly when strategies in school aren’t having the desired impact at home.

Here are just some of the services available to families:

• Empowering Parents – A parent-led group offering practical advice and support for the challenges of parenting.
• Chill Kids – Helping children manage difficult emotions and stay calm.
• Triple P FEARless – Support for anxious children who may avoid social events or school.
• Understanding Your Child’s Feelings (online course)
• Understanding the Impact of the Pandemic on Your Child (online course)
• Supporting You with Your Child’s SEND (special educational needs and/or disability)
• Supporting Adults with Their Relationships
• Educational Psychologist Drop-in
• CAMHS Drop-in
• SENDIASS Drop-in

If you feel your family could benefit from any of these services, please see below for more details and how to book.
