Anna Freud Schools Link Programme in Enfield – reminder:

The London Borough of Enfield are participating in the Link Programme in the spring term of 2022. The programme is delivered by the Anna Freud Centre, funded by the Department for Education, and will bring together local leaders in education and mental health to identify the support required by children and young people in our area. The sessions will focus on joining up the system for the benefit of schools and colleges.

I have attached a flyer with more information about the programme. You can find out more by visiting www.annafreud.org/linkprogramme. 

As part of the programme the Anna Freud Centre will convene and facilitate three tailored support sessions, which you have been invited to attend. The sessions will take place over Zoom and will include stakeholders from across the local authority in education and mental health. The content of the tailored support sessions will be based on the CASCADE framework.
