Question 4.
Mental Health:
The impact of COVID-19; of Lockdown and our own life experiences during the last 3 months is different for every student, every family.
This question aims to understand the specific impact of COVID-19 and Lockdown on you.
This will help us begin to understand the impact of COVID-19 on our entire school community, not just our students. After all, you are the main adult in your young persons world, your mental health is also important to us.
We know our health anxieties, separation anxieties and social anxieties have had to increase significantly to help us naturally comply with health guidance during Lockdown, but what is the impact of this and what does reducing levels of anxiety need to look like.
Health anxiety refers to when we have a fear of becoming unwell
Social anxiety refers to when we have a fear of being around others
Separation anxiety refers to when we have a fear of being away from a loved one/loved ones
Low mood refers to a reduction in feeling hopeful, content, happy, positive.

Question 5.
Helpful Services:
We are wanting to make sure we provide information on different services that can at times help support individuals with experiences that affect their mental health.
The following list of life experiences will help us begin to recognise what our families might need over the coming weeks. This information will help our Mental Health Support Teams know areas to focus on when bringing together the Mental Health Support in Schools Information Pack. These packs will be available in the Autumn on our website.
Please be reassured, this questionnaire is 100% anonymous.

We are keen to know your experience and observations of your young person during Lockdown.
This will begin to help us recognise the negative and positive impact of Lockdown for our students. This could be helpful in our review of teaching during our transition phase as well as being helpful in mapping the functional, social and emotional needs of our students as they return.
