Support information regarding the tragic event in Southport 29th July 2024

After The Event

We received the following information from Sefton regarding recent tragic events.

Dear Sefton schools, nurseries ,day care, childminders, out of school provision and other educational settings,

Our Sefton Community is close knit, and we know some of you will have been affected by this personally or have members of your community who have been caught up in the tradgedy.

I want to reassure everyone in our schools and settings that we are here ready to support you with whatever you may need to help yourselves, your families and your children in the weeks and months to come.

This tragedy not only hurts those directly involved but has impacts across our community.

We know that those children involved will need ongoing support both physically and mentally, and for those children not directly involved, there may be fear, uncertainty and anxiety for some time to come. Families will need ongoing support and settings will need to be given resources to be able to signpost families to the right support.
