Children's Mental Health Week 2024
Children’s Mental Health Week 2024 will take place from 5-11 February 2024. This year’s theme is My Voice Matters.
My Voice Matters is about empowering children and young people by providing them with the tools they need to express themselves.
As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health.
The children's mental health charity, Place2Be, set up Children's Mental Health Week to highlight the importance of mental health for children and young people.
Research shows that up to one in four of us will experience mental health problems at some point in our lifetime.
Run by the charity Place2Be, their website contains a range of free resources. This includes a section for parents containing stories and tips for both adults and children.

Every year Big Talk Education holds a workshops across the school, to deliver age appropriate, up to date, Sex and Relationships Education. This usually takes place in Spring Term 2. Prior to the event parent will be invited to view the resources which will be shared via a link sent by Big Talk Education. Staff will be available in the morning of the sessions to answer any questions parents and carers have face to face.
