Our Mental Health First Aid team have promoted Children’s Mental Health Health Week. They encouraged all of our pupils to participate in a range of activities to ensure positive emotional well-being. Year 1 visited the Black Country Living Museum to support their developing understanding of change and History. They had a great time. Today, a small group of pupils visited Birmingham University and contributed to the Youth Summit on Environmental Issues. They had some amazing ideas around the theme of ‘‘what can we do to change?’ Thank you for your continued support. Kind regards, Miss S Johnson Head of School SAFEGUARDING AT MANSFIELD - ATTENDANCE Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility UNCR C Articles The Rights Reps would like to share this week's Rainbow Rights, from the UNCRC, with you. ARTICLE 9 (separation from parents) Children must not be separated from their parents against their will unless it is in their best interests (for example, if a parent is hurting or neglecting a child). Children whose parents have separated have the right to stay in contact with both parents, unless this could cause them harm. ARTICLE 10 (family reunification) Governments must respond quickly and sympathetically if a child or their parents apply to live together in the same country. If a child’s parents live apart in different countries, the child has the right to visit and keep in contact with both of them. Dates for your diary These are upcoming school dates for events.
