Now, Hull Family Hubs are entering a new era, as the Solihull Approach becomes known as Togetherness. The new Togetherness model is being rolled out across all Family Hubs in Hull, providing resources, training, and sessions for families and professionals alike.

By working hand in hand with bar owners, Marshall is helping reduce stigma and expand access to lifesaving tools. This is exactly what community safety should look like.

The 'Hope Check': How to maintain the optimism and resilience of your frontline pastoral staff. When dealing with distressing circumstances daily, it's easy for pastoral staff to lose hope. But hope is the engine of change for the pupils they support. To maintain that hope and drive performance, scheduled supervision is non-negotiable. I advocate for leveraging internal expertise: let experienced pastoral staff provide short, protected 20-minute check-ins, rather than relying solely on SLT who may lack the same frontline exposure. This peer-led approach is more effective and fosters a stronger team culture. These weekly check-ins are not just a luxury; they are an essential protective factor against stress and vicarious trauma. Watch this short video to learn why this professional standard, common in external agencies, must be mirrored in schools. Your homework task is to check to see if your pastoral team have scheduled supervisions sessions and, if not, find out why. We must protect their hope and their optimism as foundations for better futures. #EducationLeadership #SLT #WellbeingInSchools #PastoralSupport #UKschools

🌱 One Year After Disaster: Schools as Anchors of Resilience When communities face crisis, schools become more than places of learning — they become havens of hope, belonging, and strength. In the region hit by the storm, school leaders leaned into that role, turning recovery into transformation. 🔍 Key take‑aways for school principals: Schools embraced a deeper role: beyond academics they became community hubs, supporting students, families, staff and neighbourhoods together. Recovery efforts prioritized belonging and adaptability: for example weekly whole‐school assemblies, student‑driven arts projects transforming trauma into purpose, and awarding agency to learners. The work is anchored in cycles of improvement (Plan→Do→Study→Act) across themes like mental‑health supports, system partnership, credential pathways and community integration. True resilience isn’t just rebuilding what was lost — it’s re‑imagining how schools work, how they connect with families, how they serve learning and belonging in challenging times. 🎯 What you can do as a leader: Reflect on how your school serves as a connector in the community — families, neighbours, support services — especially when times are hard. Embed practices that build belonging: routines or rituals where everyone (students, staff, support) participates, where voices are heard, where relationships matter. Use a continuous‑improvement mindset: pick one small change (e.g., check‑in routines, student‑led community project, cross‑team collaboration) and iterate. Prioritise care and capacity for staff and learners: trauma, disruption, change take a toll — resilience includes healing and growth at the same time. ✨ When schools lead with care, connection and community, they don’t just recover — they become stronger, together. https://lnkd.in/gYKS3nvn #SchoolLeadership #Resilience #CommunitySchools #EducationRecovery #BelongingInSchools #LeadershipInCrisis

What if safeguarding in schools meant more than protecting: it meant empowering? Next month at the @PHASE conference in Singapore, I’ll be sharing a vision that sits at the heart of what we do at Choose Hope, an initiative under the Center For Positive Psychology & Wellbeing by Sandy Sinn: building a ‘Network of Safety’ across every school community. Too often, suicide prevention is left to a few specialists or counselors. But what if every teacher, coach, and staff member had the confidence and skills to notice when a student is struggling and knew how to offer help that could save a life? That’s what a suicide-safer campus looks like: an empowered community where caring, connection, and competence flow through every corner of a school. The World Health Organization reminds us that mental health and wellbeing are not just medical issues—they are community health priorities, and schools are among the most powerful settings for prevention and growth. When we equip entire school communities with suicide first aid skills, we redefine safeguarding from a reactive response to a proactive culture of care. At PHASE in Singapore, I’ll be introducing this whole-school approach—one that strengthens safety through shared responsibility and collective compassion. Because safeguarding isn’t just about preventing tragedy; it’s about building hope, together. https://lnkd.in/gXaa68AR #PHASEAP25 #NetworkOfSafety #SuicidePrevention #EveryEducator #Safeguarding #ChooseHope #Singapore #WholeSchoolApproach (Andy) Anh Ho Gabrielle Hicks Shayne Connell Justin Hardman 21st Century Learning Chris Grant Alexandra Berry Boe Leung Sandy Sinn Suicide Prevention Educator Sophia Luu Samuel Bourne Karla Marie Jacinto, LPT Grace V.
