Things to consider for families.

 

Healthier Together Summer Promotion - The Healthier Together website was developed to provide parents with easily accessible information about common childhood illnesses including when and where to get help and to also offer support to healthcare professionals to make sure consistent messages are given to parents. It includes close collaboration with professionals across health and social care (schools, local authorities, health visitors, school nurses, practice nurses, acute children’s community nurses, GPs, midwives, ambulance services and NHS 111). As summer arrives, the aim of this toolkit is to continue to remind parents about this valuable resource. There was an earlier version which included newsletters and social media appropriate to spring and has been updated to include more seasonal messages with the warmer weather and summer school holidays ahead.

https://www.hwehealthiertogether.nhs.uk/

 

Hay Fever - Tips to help tackle hay fever this summer - Hay fever season is here. The NHS provide a range of ways to help relieve hay fever symptoms. If you’re struggling with hay fever try wearing wraparound sunglasses to stop pollen getting into your eyes or putting petroleum jelly around your nostrils to trap pollen.

 

Online safety - summer campaign - The summer holidays are fast approaching and while more time may be spent outside away from screens, it’s important to remember that the risk of online harm and child exploitation doesn’t disappear.

Parents and carers should remain aware of their child’s internet use over the summer - as much as any other time of year. Child exploitation and grooming often starts with contact on social media. Any child is at risk and it's important to remember that both boys and girls can be groomed. 

The ESCB website has resources for parents, carers and professionals including podcasts, videos, how to report concerns and information about spotting the signs of exploitation.- ESCB - Online Safety

 

Help children to stay safe online by creating a supportive environment - Caregivers can create a supportive environment, where online safety is discussed regularly in the same way as road safety or stranger danger, enabling children to speak up about any concerns they may have. By taking an interest in what games they are playing and trying to understand their online world, parents and carers can initiate important conversations. It’s also worthwhile double checking that devices have the correct parental controls, especially if they’re new.

 

The Essex Safeguarding Children Board website has resources for parents, carers and professionals including podcasts, videos, how to report concerns, and information about spotting the signs of exploitation. 

 

It is important to remember that exploitation is not the child’s fault, and they are never to blame. 

Concerns about child exploitation can be reported anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111

 

There is also a dedicated Essex Police Child Exploitation hotline for parents, carers and members of the public to seek advice on concerns they may have about their own or other children with regards to criminal and sexual exploitation. Call 01245 452058.

 

Parents & Carers Knife Crime Awareness - a free online workshop for parents & carers on helping our children stay safe. It is recommended for any adult who supports young people, either personally or professionally.

Our 2 hour session takes place via Zoom on July 18th 6:30-8:30pm and can be booked by clicking the link below-

You may be planning for a holiday away or holidaying at home.

We have put together some links and information you may find useful over the Summer, many places do have access information and may provide quiet areas or times and other adjustments so always worth an ask or look on their websites.

Community Cafe

 

 

Following the hugely successful singalong at Debden Grange from the Year 5 class at Christmas, the staff have come together to create more opportunities for getting the children involved in all community groups.

On Inset day, we came up with the idea of a monthly 'Community Cafe' and this will be run by each of the classes over the course of the term and will, hopefully, engage the children with many different groups from the community.

 

Our first community cafe will be run by Falcon Class, Year 6 and we are inviting any grandparents in the local community to come and join Year 6 on Friday 19th January from 2 - 3pm for tea, coffee, cake and chat; we will also be playing some table top games, if people want to get involved.  Please note, this is for grandparents only, not parents, and this will only include children from Year 6 helping.

 

We hope the monthly community cafe will help our children see the different roles played by people in the community and will get the children involved with chatting and spending time with these community groups. Coming up, we will be engaging many different groups so keep a look out for the next community cafe in February.

 

In the meantime, please pass this invitation to any grandparents - near or far - who may wish to come in on Friday 19th to spend time with our fabulous Falcons and enjoy a relaxed afternoon with cake!

Uttlesford children's clothing bank.

 

Dear All,

 

The warm weather seems to have finally arrived, and spring term is almost over!  As we move into summer and even warmer weather, Uttlesford Children's Clothing Bank would just like to let you know that we have really good quantities of summer school uniform and PE kit if you have any families at your school who may struggle to buy these items.  It's really important to us that children feel happy and comfortable in their clothes, so everything we give out has been checked by us to ensure it meets our high standards.

 

You can refer a family using the Frontline app, or by using the form on our website.  https://www.uccb.org.uk/referrals  We are usually able to drop clothing off at school for collection by the family.  

 

We are starting to take requests directly from families via Facebook, where they can send us a message.  Our Facebook page can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/uttlesfordchildrensclothingbank  Please feel free to share this information in your weekly newsletter.

 

Finally, alongside uniform, we can also provide shoes, trainers and clothes for outside of school.

 

All the best,

Emma, Madi and Cath.
