Life can be challenging at times, and we all need a little help now and then. As a school, we are committed to providing support where we can or guiding you to the right services. As a school, we have access to a range of support options to assist families and children. We work closely with children and families, drawing on the expertise and experience within the school,  and we have links with wider professionals and services, allowing us to signpost our families to support. Our offer is continually growing to ensure we provide the right support at the right time.

We recognise that from time to time things may be difficult at home for a variety of reasons and we are here to help, if we can, or to signpost to a service that can offer support. We believe that early identification and support are vital in helping to minimise the negative impact on children.

As a team, we meet regularly to safeguard and support the children and families of Chalkwell Infants. Whilst some of our work is directly with children and families, we also liaise with other agencies, including Children's Social Care and early support services. 

If you have any concerns about your child, you can contact any member of the team via the school office, telephone or email.

If you have any concerns regarding the welfare of any child, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Milbank, the DSL, or any of the Deputy DSLs.
