At Cotgrave Church of England Primary School we are committed to promoting the safeguarding and welfare of our children and families.
We work with many external agencies to offer the best support, below are a few examples:
Early Help
MASH
Healthy Families Team
CAMHS
Children's Centre
Mental Health Support Team
Our safeguarding team in school is:
Helen Pearson - Senior Safeguarding Lead
Emily Black - Deputy Safeguarding Lead
Pastoral support
We believe that offering the best pastoral support for a child in school can often lead to less referrals being made as we are able to support as an early intervention.
Mrs Harper, our ELSA-trained Teaching Assistant (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant)works with children on a 1-1 basis and often completes direct work with a child. We also have access through Mrs Pearson (our Senior Mental Health Lead) to the Mental Health Support Team.
Pastoral support is offered to families, so please do get in touch if you have any concerns or if you feel you need support with regards to mental health, family issues, safeguarding issues or if you just need a chat.
Please arrange to speak to Mrs Pearson or Mrs Black.
