How to get help

NEED HELP? TALK TO SOMEONE

You Are Not Alone

If something is worrying you, it is important to tell someone. Talking about your worries can help you feel safer and calmer. There will always be an adult who wants to listen and help you.

Who Can I Talk to at School?

You can talk to any adult in school, including:

  • Your teacher
  • A teaching assistant
  • A lunchtime adult
  • Someone in the school office

All adults in school are there to help keep you safe.

Worry Boxes

If you do not feel ready to talk, you can write down or draw your worry and put it in one of the school Worry Boxes. An adult will read it and help you.
