Safeguarding

Hinchley Wood School is committed to ensuring the welfare and safety of all our children in school. Students have a right to learn in a supportive, caring and safe environment which includes the right to protection from all types of abuse.  

Hinchley Wood School follows the Surrey Safeguarding guidelines.  The school’s Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy, Safer Recruitment Procedure, Online Safety Policy, Anti-Bullying Policy, Behaviour, Rewards and Sanctions Policy and Volunteers, Visitors, Supply Staff & Contractors – Safeguarding Procedures, are available via the links at the bottom of this page.

Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health (EWMH) Support

Hinchley Wood School is committed to supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health of all our children in school.  As well as the support offered by our Pastoral Care Team – see Pastoral Care pages – our EWMH Team is a group of adults who can offer support for individuals or small groups of students through targeted emotional wellbeing  and mental health support interventions.

All requests for additional EWMH support must have the support of the child and parent/carer and are triaged by our Intervention Assessment Team.  This is made up of inclusion, safeguarding and pastoral staff and allows us to ensure that the support we offer is the most appropriate for the student.  Should you have any concerns about your child’s mental health or wellbeing please contact their Form Tutor or Head of Learning in the first instance.

 

Some of the people in the EWMH Team include:

  • Mrs K Cullen, Senior Mental Health Lead
  • Mrs H Trafford-Dear, Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead (Currently on Maternity Leave)
  • Ms N Stevenson, Safeguarding Student Support
  • Miss L Rebai and Mrs C Misto, ELSAs  - offer a 6 week programme of targeted Emotional Literacy support
  • Ms S Bates, Body and Identity Coach – supports with self-esteem, body confidence and identity
  • Education Mental Health Practitioners and Senior Clinicians, Elmbridge Mental Health Support Team  - work on behalf of Mindworks Surrey to offer CBT based early interventions for mild to moderate anxiety based difficulties or low mood.  They also offer group interventions.

 

Safeguarding and Wellbeing Resources and Support

We all need some support from time-to-time to keep us safe and to help us manage our mental health and wellbeing.  As well as the support we can offer in school – please refer to the EWMH section - there is wealth of information and support available from a range of local and national organisations.

Here are a selection of resources available to young people, their parents and carers that we hope you will find helpful.

Please do also have a look at The Parent Handbook  produced by Surrey Family Information Service. This online reference book for parents and carers of 11 to 19 year olds in Surrey includes information and contacts on topics, ranging from alcohol, drugs and substance misuse, to support for young carers.

In addition, click here to access a resources library from our Safeguarding training provider, SSS Learning.  You will find articles, top tips and short videos for parents/carers on a range of issues from How to Keep your Child Safe Online to Tackling Sleep Problems in Children and Teens.  

Please contact your child’s Head of Learning if you would like further signposting for a specific issue.

Please note, in an emergency you must call 999/111 or visit A&E.

Online Safety Resources and Support

As well as the work we do in school to educate our students about online safety and potential risks online, there is a lot of information available for young people, parents and carers to help us navigate the ever-evolving digital landscape, and help keep our young people safe. 

We would like to signpost you to a selection of resources that we hope you will find helpful.

Also, please take a look at our monthly Online Safety Newsletters for parents and carers with useful information, tips and advice about the latest developments in online, mobile, gaming, apps and social media and how to help children stay safe online.

Safeguarding Workshops and Events for Parents and Carers

We were delighted to welcome a number of parents and carers to Hinchley Wood School on 18th November 2024 for a wellbeing workshop on Self-Harm and Online Safety.  Our Senior Assistant Head and Designated Safeguarding Lead, Mrs Cullen, has recorded a video of the Online Safety workshop presentation. If you were not able to attend the workshop, please do take a look.  We hope it will give you some useful information and advice to help you support your child with this important issue.
