The USF recognises the importance of good mental health, as underpinning your child’s learning. To this end, our Federation offers graduated levels of response for your child’s wellbeing. Please see above for our tiered offer which is designed to meet children’s needs at different times in their life. Our Federation wellbeing lead works with key staff members within the Federation to promote the importance of good mental health and support your child’s emotional needs.

If you are concerned about your child’s emotional wellbeing, please contact the relevant Mental Health Champion Leader. You can do this by emailing admin@topsham.devon.sch.uk who will then pass this on for you.
