Well Being
We hope the following information and advice, to support the well being of your children, is helpful.
At Cliffedale School we want to ensure our pupils have healthy bodies and minds.
As part of the Local Offer, Lincolnshire County Council has an Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Pathway website, in which parents and carers can self refer to some of their services. This may be necessary if certain behaviours or concerns have not been seen within the school setting. The website states:
'We want to make sure that young people have access to information and advice in one place, and are aware of local services, that can help support them when experiencing emotional wellbeing, mental health or behavioural concerns. The information provided within this pathway is also designed to help families of children and young people experiencing emotional wellbeing, mental health or behaviour concerns and the professionals working with them.
The pathway aims to provide children and young people, and their families, with better access to the right support at the right time.'
