Wellbeing

Wellbeing is at the forefront of what we do here at Roecroft. We have established a caring and nurturing environment that supports each child as a whole. This includes work across the curriculum that promotes positive behaviour, mental health, well-being, resilience and achievement.

The level of support each child needs to be emotionally literate, self-aware and mentally well will differ. We have a wealth of interventions and support systems across the school to ensure every child has the social and emotional skills to achieve their potential.

Whilst all staff in school have a responsibility to promote the mental health of pupils, please find below a list of key staff with specific roles and responsibilities.

Supplementary Information
Texts are delivered to a secure website and responded to by our 0 – 19 team. Out of hours, anyone who texts the service receives a bounce back message explaining where to get help if their question is urgent, and when they can expect a response. Texts are usually replied to within one working day. We provide the service free of charge. Any SMS messages sent whilst using the service may incur the usual network provider charge.

We do not usually inform anyone else when you/ your child contacts us. If we are concerned about safety we might escalate our concerns and would attempt to consult with you/them before doing so.

All messages are securely recorded and can be seen by other healthcare staff who follow NHS confidentiality rules.

The award-winning messaging service platforms were created by Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust, who liaised with school staff, parents, governors, clinical leads, nurses and safeguarding leads to develop guidance and test to ensure safety. The approach to safeguarding and personal information is robustly governed. Other organisations such as the police, NSPCC and the Royal College of Nursing were also extensively consulted.
