Havering Emotional Support Team is a new collaborative service which is designed to help meet the emotional wellbeing needs of children and young people in education settings. This support is aimed at children and young people who may be experiencing mild to moderate emotional wellbeing concerns. We provide additional support working alongside other professionals who are already based in and around schools and colleges as part of the Whole School Approach.
Currently, HEST is available in a number of placement schools across the borough, which includes both primary and secondary schools, with the aim of branching out in more schools and Havering colleges in the future.
Find out more about us on our website.
Referrals
Havering Emotional Support Team (HEST) works closely with designated School Links in each of the 12 project schools. Access to this service can only be made via the School Link.
If your child attends one of the project schools, then you can speak with the School Link about referral to our service. The list of schools involved in this programme can be found on our website under 'Schools in the project'.
For children attending a Havering school who are signed up to the HEST Programme - please see this list on their website.
