We would like to update you on the support offered by Barnet Integrated Clinical Services during the Covid-19 outbreak. As a service, we are aiming to continue to offer telephone, skype and video support to vulnerable children young people and families across the Borough.

To achieve this, we have set up a single point of contact for BICS Early Help services, which offers support to young people, families and carers who are struggling with mild to moderate social, emotional, behavioural and mental health difficulties. We are offering the following:

1. Telephone support and consultation to professionals during this period. We can offer signposting, therapeutic support and advice where there are concerns around a child’s social, emotional, behaviour or mental wellbeing.

2. We will also offer direct support, advice and guidance to families, young people and carers. Young people and/or their families/carers can call the single point of contact, and a clinician will return their call. The clinician will take information about the young person’s presenting need and offer advice/support accordingly.

The DfE have launched a new helpline to answer questions about COVID-19 related to education.

Staff, parents and young people can contact the helpline as follows :

Phone: 0800 046 8687

 Email: DfE.coronavirushelpline@education.gov.uk

The NEW key government measures to delay the spread of coronavirus includes the following advice:

If one person in any household has a persistent cough or fever (high temperature), everyone living there must stay home for 14 days.

This week the children of Pluto Class had lots of fun helping to tidy up the school grounds. We have teamed up with Mill Hill Residents Association to participate in litter picking activities. For our first session we took to the school grounds to tidy up the rubbish and we found a whole bags worth of litter! 

PECS session for Friday 7/2/20 is being postponed until further notice
