  • TikTok - Please be aware

    Fri 10 Mar 2023 Mr Rowlands

    Please be aware of this worrying TikTok trend and please keep in mind the date 24th April. 

     

    From, 

    Anna Harrison | Business Manager – Safeguarding Children Partnership | Childrens Services and Lifelong Learning | Gateshead Council

     

    We’ve been made aware of a concerning video going around on social media - TIK TOK - regarding 24th April 2023 being an alleged Rape day. This has been shared multiple times around social media, apparently it has been created as a video for people to participate in, like the blackout dares (ligature videos) etc. It started in 2021 and is trending again. The trend is called April 24th. There is a lot of counter-information but it is something that young people could be influenced by.

     

    Please alert colleagues as required.

     

    Many thanks

    Anna

  • Mental Health Awareness Training

    Fri 03 Feb 2023 Mr Rowlands

    There will be a Mental Health Awareness Training course on the 7th February 9.30am – 12.30pm at Hadrian School. There will be a mix of parents & carers/professionals on the training.

     

    It’s a great opportunity for attendees to have an introduction to mental health covering:

    • Defining mental health and some common mental health issues
    • Identify stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health issues
    • Relate to people’s experiences and support people in distress
    • Look after your own mental health.

     

    This is an introductory course and lasts three hours.

    The session will be a mix of presentations, group interaction, and activities. Our instructor provide a safe learning environment and are trained to support you throughout the whole course. If you don’t feel comfortable joining in certain parts, then there is no pressure to.

     

    Due to some of the sensitive subjects of our courses, we limit numbers. We want everyone to feel safe and our instructors can help if people find some parts particularly difficult.

     

    Please contact Hadrian School on 0191 273 4440 or email david.palmer@hadrian.newcastle.sch.uk if you would like further information.
