Online Support for Students and Parents
Online safety is one of the main areas of concern for parents. In the section below you will also find handy tips for keeping your child safe with age appropriate advice and guidance. If you have any concerns regarding online safety and how to keep your child safe please contact the academy and ask to speak to a member of the pastoral team.
This section of our website aims to provide a range of resources for students and families to support their child at home. If you have concerns please also contact the academy and speak to a member of the pastoral team for your child's year group.
Students should remember if they have any concerns they can speak to a member of staff in school to report any worries or concerns or email wellbeing@dixonska.com. Remember Be Safe Tell Someone!
We know that mental health in children and young people is a growing concern for many with as many as 1 in 4 people in the UK experiencing problems with their mental health at least once a year. To ensure you have the best support possible for your child, below are some useful websites which detail support services in Bradford.
One service is Youth in Mind and can be found by following this link: https://www.mindinbradford.org.uk/support-for-you/youth-in-mind/.
Youth in Mind provide free mental health and wellbeing support for young people and children between 5 and 25 within the Bradford district.
The Know Your Mind service which can also be found at https://www.mindinbradford.org.uk/support-for-you/youth-in-mind/ provides extra support for children between 8 and 19 who either live or go to school in BD1, BD2, BD3, BD5, BD7, BD8 or BD9. This support is in the form of One-to-one sessions, well-being group sessions or Community support. You can access these services by filling in a form which is located on the website.
If your child is in mental health crisis, please call the First Response number below:
0800 9521181
If you do access either of these services, please contact the school wellbeing team at
wellbeing@dixonska.com in order to inform them. This will allow school to provide the most appropriate support for your child.
I would also like to draw your attention to two mindfulness apps which can help your child to develop support strategies independently. These apps are Calm and Headspace. Both have options for free trials and also YouTube channels which have useful exercises on them.
These can be found here:
Calm: https://www.youtube.com/@calm
Headspace https://www.youtube.com/@headspace
Additional Self -help resources for young people and parents/carers are available from the following sites
