Haringey’s Public Health team is in the second phase of rolling out the Asthma Friendly Schools campaign. After a very successful launch event in December 2018, many schools have already been awarded asthma friendly status or are working towards this goal.
The team is planning their second Train the Trainer event and would like to invite enthusiastic people from schools who did not attend the previous event to come and train to be asthma champions.
When: Wednesday 26 June 2019, 9:30am -12:30pm
Where: Committee Rooms 1 and 2, 1st Floor, Civic Centre, High Rd, Wood Green N22 8LE
The programme aims to improve asthma recognition and management within schools as, although asthma is common, outcomes within the UK are amongst the worst in Europe. Improving asthma management within schools has many benefits, including:
- improved attendance
- improved academic achievement
- improved participation in physical activites
- reduced medical complications related to asthma.
Engaging with the project offers the school a great opportunity to work in partnership with healthcare and the local authority as part of a coordinated response to improving asthma outcomes in all children. If you would like to attend, or to nominate someone from your school to attend this training and work towards becoming an ‘asthma friendly school’, please contact: Healthy.Schools@haringey.gov.uk
Please see this leaflet for information about activities for children and young people that are taking place in Haringey during the forthcoming May half term.

Let's make a big difference this year!
National Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) day will be a celebration of excellent RSE that educates children and young people about healthy relationships and positive sexual health. This is the first year this has been celebrated nationally, and provides an opportunity to highlight the new national guidance for Relationships Education, RSE and Health Education which will be mandatory from September 2020.
On 27 June 2019, schools, teachers, young people, families and the wider community are invited to:
- Nominate excellent teachers of RSE for the RSE teaching awards. The Deadline for nominations is Friday 31 May 2019
- Hold RSE activities, using the following ideas for primary schools and secondary schools
- Use social media, such as twitter, to share your RSE activities with pride and confidence – follow @RSE_day and use the hashtags #RSEday and #RSEtogether
- Tell your local community about your RSE activities through a newsletter, web-site update, local newspaper or other media.
To support your journey in preparing for mandatory RSE, the Sex Education Forum has produced a useful roadmap which sets out the 10 steps for providing high quality RSE.
Haringey Council is rolling out free two-day Youth Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training for schools, which will provide staff with the skills and confidence to spot early signs of mental health needs in a young person, offer mental health ‘first aid’ and, if appropriate, guide them towards other support they may need.
The provision of this training is part of the Mayor of London’s programme to ensure that every school in London has at least one Youth Mental Health First Aider. More information can be found in the attached leaflet.
If you would like a member of staff to benefit from this free training, they need to:
- email healthy.schools@haringey.gov.uk with their name, role and email address;
- select one of the groups as their preferred option;
- identify a second group as back-up, as some of the groups are now filling up.
The groups will be delivered on:
- Friday 7 June and Friday 14 June
- Monday 17 June and Tuesday 18 June
- Thursday 20 June and Friday 21 June
- Thursday 26 September and Thursday 3 October
Every effort will be made to meet preferred options, but courses will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Depending on interest, we may be able to offer more than one place to those on the waiting list, but this is not guaranteed.
All training will take place from 9am to 5pm at Hornsey School for Girls and will be delivered by professionals from Haringey Council and Whittington Health NHS Trust.
