I cannot tell you how useful your call and your information via email has been - thank you! I will use this to help my dialogue with this parent and also as part of further staff development.

Injury Prevention Resources

Many thanks for the bitesize training it was useful! We do not currently mention magnets in our risk assessments when we do the initial meeting with families, so I have suggested to the managers to incorporate these. Thank you again.

RSE curriculum timeline

We have so far completed a timeline for moving forwards with the new RSE curriculum at our school. I've contacted Cat some time ago (after she was excellent at supporting with some RSE technicalities from the new legislation) and she said that HS would be happy to support us on our journey.

All roads have led back to you, and I'm so happy! I really appreciate your support on what seems like a great task (delivering the new RSE curriculum in a transparent, fair and thorough way) but with the support of HS we will enable our children the skills and knowledge that they need in order to excel in these tentative years, into young people and adulthood.

Thank you for the open questions' suggestion which I will feed back and include on our timeline.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the resources you pulled together for RSE day.

I used a lot of your resources from the Primary and Special Schools pages to share with teachers across school for activities; the feedback I got was overwhelmingly positive and the pupils seemed to really enjoy their time doing the activities. Thanks again for doing most of the work for me on RSE day!

What a great end to a long week receiving this, the new format is great and the School Recovery Toolkit link on page 3 has been so well received here. That is a quite brilliant piece of work.

Good to see the Accident Prevention calendar as I've not had the chance to catch up on this work with Helen.

We're sharing this with our wider Population Health Team ahead of the full team meeting next week, it really showcases the value of our Healthy Schools team.

Hope it gets the feedback it deserves.

Thanks

The breadth of topics that the newsletter and your service covers is extremely impressive to read and will really make a difference to the health and outcomes of Manchester school children.

The aim of Healthy Schools is to help as many schools and college providers in Manchester as possible to provide wellbeing support for children and young people .The newsletter is evidence you do this very well.

Very well done and please pass on my congratulations to all your team.
