We recently spoke to a school in the North West who shared a story with us about the impact tootoot had for a pupil within their school. With their permission, we’re sharing their words now.

“I really need to speak to you because lately I’ve been thinking about life and how I just hate mine and how I just want to die.”

“This became a safeguarding concern and Mum and Dad were advised. Mum came into school to talk about next steps and between us we identified areas of worry for the pupil which we are working closely with the family on. Her worries were around family illness, Year 6 SATs, moving to high school.

The Year 6 pupil meet with myself daily for 5 minutes to talk through what’s gone well and Mum has put in quality time at home. She has also been referred for play therapy which is accessed in-school to support her emotional wellbeing. 

“What this has done essentially is open up communication within the family, and the year 6 pupil has presented much more positively in school and at home.”

The family are also seeking advice via their GP. What tootoot has done is open up communication within the family, and the Year 6 pupil has presented much more positively in school and at home. Whilst this isn’t a bullying case, the pupil’s mum has expressed her thanks that we have a system in place for children to access outside of school.”
