About the Event:
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Haringey’s Emotional Wellbeing Forum, this extended event focuses on how exploitation impacts on young people in Haringey.
Forum members requested a session on exploitation, so we have produced a practice-led conference that focuses on promoting resilience and wellbeing to mitigate against the risks of exploitation. This is a multi-agency event.
Themes will include:
Grooming; young people missing; hidden harm, touching on trauma; gangs; modern slavery; financial exploitation; violence against women and girls; extremism; gambling.
Support and referral processes including promoting resilience and wellbeing; drug and alcohol; sexual health; early help and youth services.

Although not a consultation, the government has published a White Paper, ‘Opportunity for all: strong schools with great teachers for your child’, followed by the Schools Bill. The proposed legislation sets out a series of reforms to the education, and the White Paper, preceding the bill, also recognises that the school system is fragmented and acknowledged that councils have a continued role at the centre of local education systems, with powers to match their duties around place-planning and ensuring pupils out of school return to the classroom as soon as possible. The council, including our Cabinet Member, Cllr Zena Brabazon, would like to begin what will be a series of conversations with you about the way forward for our Haringey family of schools. In our first conversation, date, and time to be confirmed shortly, we will set out our vision and thoughts and listen to your views, hopes and concerns about the White Paper/Schools bill and implications for our Haringey’s schools. Details on the first conversation will be sent to you this week.
The SEND Green Paper ‘Right support, right place, right time’ was released in April 2022 following the extensive review of the 2014 reforms. Responses are due by 22 July 2022. Mary Jarrett, Head of SEND, will be holding an engagement on the paper for Heads and CoGs to gather views. The date is likely to be 5 or 13 July for a 90-minute session. Further details will follow shortly.
The government has finally published a consultation on the National Funding Formula (NFF). This follows on from consultation in 2021 (which the Council responded to, setting out concerns about the impact of a NFF on our schools’ funding) which focused on the principle of an NFF. This current consultation focuses on the detail. Moving to a direct NFF requires a change in legislation to allow the Secretary of State to determine schools’ funding allocations directly. This forms part of the schools Bill which was introduced in Parliament on 11 May 2022. Further information on the consultation will be published in this newsletter and through the Assistant Director for Schools and learning. The closing date for the consultation is 9 Sept 2022 which means that we will need to gather our response quickly. The matter will also be discussed at the last Schools Forum of the academic year in early July.
We will be working with you to ensure that a voucher scheme in some guise will be made available to our families for the summer holiday period. Detail on this will be sent directly to Heads under separate cover.
The Holiday Activity Food Programme (HAF) Programme is a holiday and food programme that has been running in our borough for several terms, including last summer and Easter 2022. It was designed to support disadvantaged families during the school holidays by providing healthy meals and enriching activities to young people. The proposed summer HAF programme is being finalised and offers approximately 2,064 places a day across the holiday camps in our schools.
This is a total of 33,024 places across the four weeks (16 days). To increase our reach among eligible children/young people we will continue to align the HAF programme with our community holiday programme which offers an extensive holiday provision for all, mostly free of charge. Last summer’s programme was a resounding success and offered innovative and varied sports and other activities and really good food to thousands of our children and young people; thank you to all those schools who supported the provision. Further details to follow shortly.
The UKHSA e-mailed all settings directly on Monday 23 May, to provide further details about what you should do with excess COVID-19 testing equipment.
If you have four or more unopened, undamaged cartons of either LFD ATS (onsite) test kits or LFD self-test kits that you would like to return, you should email UKHSA to arrange collection. (A carton means either 24 boxes of 25 ATS test kits or 56 boxes of 7 self-test kits.) If you have any queries about how to return or manage your excess stock, please email UKHSA or call 119 for advice and support.
