Resources for Students
Sources of Support
•Share how you are feeling with your friends and family. It is usually the case that a problem shared with people you trust is a little easier to manage.
•Your tutor will normally be the member of staff at Meadowhead who knows you best. If you want advice or support about a particular topic, you could book in a time to see them.
•Use reputable sources if you are looking for advice on a particular topic for yourself. The websites in the green boxes are ones we would recommend. Always be a little bit critical of any information you read – does the website or source have any potential bias or hidden agenda?
•Worried about your future plans? Any student or family can email the careers team to book an appointment using careers@meadowhead.sheffield.sch.uk or going to the Careers office next to the library.
•Concerned about your health? You or your family can arrange to see your doctor. You can also talk to a trained professional in any pharmacy.
•Feeling unsafe or think a friend is? Contact your pastoral manager as soon as possible. If you are worried about anybody being at serious risk of harm OR you feel that you are at risk of being harmed or have been harmed, please speak to a member of the Safeguarding Team or your Pastoral Manager.
