Dear Parents,
Please find below information and diary dates for the summer term.
Wishing you all a lovely Easter break.
CAMHS message
“Torbay Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service has been commissioned to provide a new school based Primary
Mental Health Work team which will be working in partnership with schools to promote the welfare, emotional and
mental health and wellbeing for children and young people. As part of our work we will receive information from
school staff and partner agencies, such as the police and social care. If it is considered in the interest of the child or
young person, this information will be shared with the school.
If information is shared, this will be in accordance with the key principles of the Data Protection Act and be on a need
to know basis, and will only occur to help schools protect and promote the welfare of your child. When there is any
sharing of information, schools should discuss this with you to enable a partnership approach to meeting the needs of
your child.
If you have any questions about the service please contact your child’s school.”
PEDESTRIAN SCHOOL BARRIERS
By law the barriers need to be see through, parents should NOT lean against them whilst waiting for their child. This
applies to both the barriers. Thank you.
