Getting help
If you or your family need any additional help or information, please contact your child’s class teacher through seesaw or our SENCO and Wellbeing Lead, Charlotte Millward.
The council has also launched the Emotional Wellbeing Hub on 0161 217 6058, choose Option 2. The Hub offers support and advice to families and a central point of contact so families can discuss any concerns they may have about their child from birth to 25 years old.
Once families have shared their concerns, the Emotional Wellbeing Hub will work with them to provide support or signpost them to the best support options, guidance and available information.
The hub is open to anyone, including carers and professionals. It is part of the council's 'early help' support structure.
