Student Welfare/ Mental Health and Wellbeing

It is really important that we look after both our physical and mental health during these difficult times.

Below you will find a variety of resources, support services and information offering guidance and advice to anyone who may need it.

Staying Safe Online

The Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership has launched a campaign urging parents to seek medical help if they are concerned about their child's health. This follows a number of cases in the region where children have arrived at hospital poorly - possibly because their parents delayed seeking help due to the current situation with coronavirus.

We would be really grateful if you could help us to promote the guidance to parents, so they know what to do if their child is ill – please see the Parent Guide PDF.
