We have strong links with partners across Darlington to ensure that wellbeing and safeguarding is a high priority within everything that we do. This includes partnerships with other educational settings, professionals across the local authority, the Darlington Borough Council Safeguarding Team, the school nursing team, Children's Initial Advice Team and a range of school councillors, trauma-informed practitioners and mental health experts.
