Be kind to yourself

Before you can be kind to others, learn to be kind to yourself.

Never forget that the most important relationship you will ever have is your relationship with yourself.

Spend time investing in it.

Have a lovely week.

TikTok Safeguarding Alert from NHS England

NHS England, have contacted schools to warn that two young adults with a wide following are encouraging self-harm on TikTok.

They appear to be engaging with vulnerable young people.

They have asked that we remind parents/carers as the bill payers of any mobile device, of their responsibility to monitor the content of devices, and to share any safeguarding concerns.
