Support & Intervention Team

Everyone tells at the Compton School. Please speak to any member of staff if you are worried about anyone in school - we also have 4 Designated Safeguarding Teachers in school to help too. We all have a responsibility to take prompt action if we are worried about the safety or welfare of anyone in school. We are committed to equal oppurtunities and inslusivity for all.

Kinship Care

Kinship support and advice

Kinship carers are family or friends who step up, often during an unexpected crisis, to care for a child when their parents aren’t able to.

KINSHIP is a leading kinship care charity in England and Wales who are running workshops and events both online and in-person.

Financial Support / Food Banks

Prepare your home - Check for available financial support, implement energy-saving practices to reduce heating costs, and ensure your appliances are both safe and in good working condition.
Plan ahead – Check the weather forecast and the news to stay informed, ensure you have enough food and medicine, and take simple measures to reduce draughts at home for your comfort and well-being.
Keep yourself warm – Heat rooms you use the most to at least 18°C. Use draft excluders on doors, keep bedroom windows closed at night, and layer thinner clothing for better insulation.
Look after each other - Check in on neighbours, friends and family who might struggle in the colder weather, and if you see someone who is rough sleeping, visit Streetlink who can connect them with the support they need.
Look after yourself – Protect yourself and others by getting vaccinated against flu, and seek help by calling NHS 111 or 999 in emergencies.
Visit a Warm Space – If you are looking for a place to get out of the cold, connect with others, and warm up, then visit one of Barnet’s warm spaces – welcoming community hubs for residents to stay warm and engage with others.

Information for all settings: Raising awareness of discounted social broadband tariffs

Home broadband is increasingly essential for supporting learning. Households receiving benefits such as Universal Credit could be eligible for discounted social tariffs, helping them stay connected at lower costs.

We recognise the role of schools, colleges and others in engaging students and their families.

We encourage you to signpost these offers to eligible households. For more information, please visit Ofcom’s website.

For more tips and advice on staying well this winter, visit Your Health Barnet.

Attendance support for parents and young people

The return to education at the end of the school holidays can be a difficult time for a variety of reasons. The start of the new term comes with plenty of challenges, from social worries to the stress of ensuring they’re entirely ready for upcoming lessons and learning.

Of course, these youngsters don’t have to weather these burdens alone, and as parents and educators, we should do all we can to support the children in our care as they head back to school. This free guide offers you expert advice on how you can be there for children and young people as they transition back into their school’s routine.
