Feeling worried or anxious?
At Swavesey Village College we believe every student has a right to lead a safe and healthy life be it in school or in the local community.
We have collated together information to help and support you below on our Sway. This outlines a wide variety of in-school and external professional support available to young people. We endeavour to keep this up to date with provisions in-school and across the local area.
Please also email worried@swaveseyvc.co.uk if you have any non-urgent questions, worries or do not know what to access, someone from
the safeguarding team (pictured below) will help you.
If you feel that your child is unable to cope and is a risk to themselves or other people, seek advice from 111. If you have an emergency dial 999 to get immediate support.
