This week (9th to 15th February) is Children's mental health awareness week. Organised by Place2Be, the theme this year is  'This is My Place', and the aim is to support the systems around children and young people to help them feel they belong.

You can find lots of resources for children of all ages on their website

We also have resources on the ESCB website, which you can find under the Safeguarding Topics page.
