Here at Liberty we are committed to supporting your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing in any way, shape or form so we have put together some resources that we think might be helpful to our young people.
Our staff are trained in drugs awareness and sexual health (and we can give out condoms if you need them through out GetIt scheme), so you can talk to us if you want help and advice on these things.
Please contact Emily, our Head of College and Safeguarding Lead, Mel, our Wellbeing Lead and Lead DDSL, or Lauren, our Pastoral Lead and LSCO, if you need support for any reason.
