If you have a safeguarding concern outside of school hours and think that a child is being abused or neglected please contact the out of office hours Southwark Council Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) and ask for the emergency duty team. If you think a child or young person is at IMMEDIATE risk, you should treat this as an emergency and call 999 to report your concerns to the Police.
Many children often need help with calming down from strong emotions. When children need help to calm down, help them to notice the emotion, name it, and pause. Once they have calmed down, you can address their behaviour or problem-solve. Learning to calm down is an important part of learning to understand and manage emotions.
These useful prompts, can help to support a child to regulate their emotions.

As both children and adult students learn English, the benefit of ESL is that they can communicate with native-speaking friends and family within the community while reaching out to people who communicate only in English. This can bridge the gap between families and the rest of the world.
Please speak to Kamla if you would like more information on this organisation.
As half term approaches, you will be spending a lot more time sharing meals together as a family. Family mealtime is when everyone at home sits down and enjoys a meal together. This can be at breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. It has been shown that families who eat together are healthier and happier.
Eating together helps build a close relationship with your children. It gives everyone in the family a chance to learn more about each other. Eating together as a family gives the children an opportunity to learn and practice their social skills, table manners, and conversation skills. Your children are more likely to eat a variety of healthy foods if they see you doing it first. Try to include food from each of the five food groups.
These are skills and lessons your children will use for life.
We thought this guide would be useful to encourage positive meal time interactions with one another.
Please speak to Kamla if you would like more information or advice on parenting issues.
