Manchester Events

Following the recent tragic event in Manchester, we thought it would be helpful to offer parents and carers some tips for discussing this with your child / children. We know that children are exposed to news in many ways, and what they see can worry them. Our advice is:

• • listen carefully to your child’s fears and worries
  • offer reassurance and comfort
  • avoid complicated and worrying explanations that could be frighten and confuse
  • help them find advice and support to understand worrying events and feelings such as https://www.childline.org.uk/info-advice/your-feelings/anxiety-stress-panic/worries-about-the-world/
  • children can always contact speak to an adult in school, ask for a Place2Be appointment or even call Childline on 0800 1111
