What’s New

Promoting the importance of personal safety through the Primary Eyes and Ears programme. The Cambridgeshire Police Children and Young People team together with the East Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership have produced a primary version of the Eyes and Ears programme consisting of three modules which support the requirements of the new Relationships, Sex and Health Education curriculum. The content focuses on the issues of personal privacy, respect and consent to help young people achieve a better understanding of how to keep themselves safe and how to behave towards their peers, including online. All of the teaching resources are available for FREE and schools that deliver the modules as part of the wider RSHE programme will receive acknowledgement in the form of a certificate and the use of the Community Eyes and Ears logo which has been commissioned by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner as part of the building resilient communities project.

NHS Health Checks On site for School Staff across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

In view of the associated increased risk of suffering from Covid 19 as a result of an underlying health condition, it is even more important today to be able to take informed steps to improve your overall health.

The NHS Health Check is available to everyone between the age of 40 – 74 so that a support pathway can be provided if necessary  to help lower the risk of high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and stroke.

These checks are fully compliant with Covid safety guidelines and take approximately 20 -30 minutes with results being produced immediately . They can be conducted on any school site – primary or secondary – and thereby reduce the need for eligible staff to visit the local GP surgeries.
