Where to get help
Safeguarding, wellbeing, and mental health are at the heart of everything we do. We have a Mental Health First Aider available to staff and students, and we sign-post where appropriate to the organisations listed below as well as other local services.
If you would like mental health support, we encourage you to speak to your Mental Health First Aider.
You can also speak to anyone from the London Safeguarding Team about something that is troubling you.
However, if you need immediate support, would prefer to speak to someone anonymously, or would like more information regarding positive mental health, explore the links below to find the right fit for you.
