Haringey Council is proposing to up-date and revise its home-school transport policy. We are introducing a more detailed account of how decisions are made in the interests of transparency and to ensure our stakeholders are as informed as possible. This will also ensure that there is less confusion and misinformation in the community. Read more about the changes https://bit.ly/SENDHomeSchoolTransportConsultation Also, book your place at our live events where we will be discussing the changes https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/haringey-local-offer-33769047149
This week (9-15 May 2022) is Mental Health Awareness Week and we are encouraging people to reach out to others to help someone who may be feeling lonely, which might – in turn – help you feel less lonely too.
Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point and it can have a huge impact on our wellbeing.
In Haringey, we have a full Mental Health Support Hub where you can access a wealth of knowledge to support you in staying mentally healthy.
The resources, tools and mobile apps include information on mental health conditions, symptoms, therapies and where to go if you need further support.
You can find more support and advice for ways to lift someone out of loneliness on the Every Mind Matters – Loneliness page.

From mid-May, primary school children across the UK will begin to receive ‘Queen Elizabeth: A Platinum Jubilee Celebration’ – a free commemorative book to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
Designed as an official once-in-a-lifetime commemoration of the Platinum Jubilee and written in collaboration with royal experts and historians, the book will tell the story of a young girl, Isabella, visiting her Great Granny Joyce who tells her about the Queen and this year’s Jubilee.
In the story, Isabella sifts through Great Granny Joyce’s treasure box of souvenirs, which act as introductions to the contents of the book. These include recent and historical events across the United Kingdom and Commonwealth, inspirational people, landmark innovations and inventions, and a selection of the best art, design, and culture.
The book will also include famous quotes from the Queen, facts on the coronation ceremony, content on the lives of famous Commonwealth figures such as Nelson Mandela, notable kings and queens and a timeline of Queen Elizabeth’s life.
Children will be invited to personalise their individual copies of the illustrated reference book, by signing a ‘this book belongs to’ section at the beginning of the book. The page reads: ‘During [the Queen’s] reign, the world has changed in so many ways… [This book] will help you understand the amazing life and times of our Queen and the magic of the unique, unshakable bond she shares with the people she serves.’
Next week is Walk to School Week 2022! Schools will receive campaign collateral from Smarter Travel to encourage pupils to take part.
