Support in Education

Every secondary school in York has its own system of how it cares for and supports its students. There are too many to list each one but generally, your form tutor, head of year or pastoral team are the ones to speak to. However, every teacher teaches because they care about young people and want to make a difference, all teachers are trained in safeguarding and so you can talk to any teacher that you like or trust in your school.

This page is showing you that even if you do sometimes struggle with the your mental health that there is support in place in further education. Chris and I both have had to manage our mental health and we went to uni and we made it through.

Each of the colleges and universities in the city work slightly differently and have different offers of support which is explained here. Just remember these services are only available to their students.
