Do you ever feel like you have no one to talk to?

Do you feel worried and your tummy feels nervous?

You may have a worry that you’d like some help with. Worries can make you feel sad, lonely, worried or nervous and these feelings can happen to anyone at any time!

We want to help you with any worries you have, so please talk to us through the worry box!

Children can share their worries with an adult in school by completing the online form. This is an opportunity for all pupils to share their concerns and worries in a safe and secure way. Worries will be sent to a member of a designated team (Mrs Dawson, Mrs Pateman, Mrs Oakley, Mrs Prince, Mr Sterio and Mrs Adams are all on the team)   who will support and encourage your child to talk through their worries. This is a great way to develop good emotional literacy while supporting the growth of resilience and personal wellbeing.

At Ellison, we use a range of strategies, resources and sources of support to help our children to develop their emotional literacy, explore their emotional difficulties and/or feelings. To support this, we have quiet areas around the school where the children can visit.  This allows all children access to an area to self-regulate or calm down.

In order to try to help you, we may write and keep some notes and we may share your worry with other trusted adults. This means that we may share your worry with the people at the school that keep you safe or have responsibility for keeping you safe at home.
