SALT in terms Summer Term/Terms 5 and 6
As we head towards the last two terms of this academic year, unfortunately, the Speech and Language Therapy team continue to have vacancies in our team that means we are still unable to allocate a core therapist. In order to ensure we are using our time in the way you find most beneficial, we would appreciate your thoughts on how we best use the limited therapist time available in the Summer term (terms 5 and 6). This survey should only take a few minutes to complete. We thank you, as always, for your understanding and support at this time.

The Anna Freud Centre, have created a set of 10 free resources to help school staff understand the mental health impact of racism on children and young people, and to feel more confident in addressing related concerns.
This summer, the Family Hub Service will be delivering the Onwards and Upwards: Summer Transitions Programme previously delivered by the Behaviour Support Team. Attendance is FREE. Referrals must be made by school staff only.
The programme model will run similar to previous years with three days of activities and workshops taking place over the summer (22nd-24th August, 10am-3pm) to help those children who would benefit from some additional support to successfully transition from primary to secondary education. There will also be a pre and post summer visit to each child to support relationship building and to complete an assessment tool. A parents/careers information session will be delivered pre summer.
There will be 16 spaces available on a first come first serve basis with an initial limit of two places per referring school, additional referrals will be managed on a waiting list. Each referral will be discussed internally to ensure the programme can meet the needs of the child, this will be discussed with the referrer. Places will be confirmed by email.
The programme will be located at Windsor Family Hub, transport can be organised for those families who do not have access to transportation. Food will also be provided for FREE under the boroughs FUEL Programme (Holiday Activities and Food Programme).
*Please ensure before referrals are made that the programme is discussed with family and the child is available to attend all three days provision*
