We know it can be difficult to open up and admit you need help in some form but every adult at Parkside is ready to listen. Your Coach is an excellent person to talk to, but we understand it is important to choose someone you feel comfortable with.
You could talk to:
- Your Student Support Leader
- Your Head of Year
- A teacher or a member of our associate staff (learning coaches, support staff etc)
- A member of our Safeguarding Team. Their office is at the end of the ICT corridor or you can send an email to them at safeguarding@parksideschool.net
Mrs Atkinson
Mr Gracey
Mr Cariss
If you’re not sure how to start the conversation with someone you feel comfortable with you could try using one of the following starters:
- “I’m finding things a bit difficult at the moment, and I think I need to talk to someone.”
- “Could we have a chat? I’m not feeling myself at the moment.”
- “I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and I think I need some help.”
- “I’ve been having trouble with ….. and I’m not sure what to do.”
