To all those members of staff getting ready for the summer holidays starting, “Hang on in there, not long to go!” For those who have already started, “Congratulations – you made it!”
You have done all you can to support, care and connect with the young people you work with over this year. I know we all worry about some children over the holidays but just remember that there are other sources of support. Knowing where to signpost children, may just help you to relax a little and enjoy a well deserved rest.
