Student Wellbeing & Safeguarding

Student wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic

We are aware that students and their families may find this an unsettling time.  The rapidly developing situation, significant media coverage and huge disruption to normal routines may cause some people to feel particularly anxious.  We are also aware that school can play a valuable role in supporting students when they are finding things difficult.

Parents, carers and students may find some of the following guides and resources useful:

useful websites

You may find the following websites particularly useful:

  • CAMHS The CAMHS website has some really wonderful resources, information, videos, podcasts, apps, etc. that you may find helpful.  There's also a young person's area which your child might like to explore.
  • Young Minds For young people and parents - advice, support, info, helpline
  • The Mix The Mix has similar resources to Young Minds but also has monitored chat rooms (which can be helpful to those who struggle to talk openly about their problems)

Safeguarding and Child Protection

The safety and wellbeing of all of our students is of paramount importance to us.  If you have concerns about the safety or wellbeing of a child who is part of our school community, please contact the school and ask to speak to the designated safeguarding lead.  Alternatively, you can email safeguarding@frogmorecollege.co.uk.  If the situation involves a child being at immediate risk, please contact the police on 999. 

We have implemented a temporary addendum to our Child Protection and Safeguarding Policies which will apply for the duration of the school closure.  This can be viewed here: Covid 19 Addendum for CP and Safeguarding
