Problems with friends
We can't be friends with everyone all the time. That's normal, it's what you do to manage the situation that is the key to maintaining happy healthy relationships with friends.
Sometimes we may disagree with our friend's points of view but that's OK.
If you are worried about anything relating to problems with friends talk to a member of staff in your school, your local GP, family member, friends or other trusted adult.

Safety Awareness Video
The Yellow Community Forum used their community funding this summer to produce a Safety Awareness Video following consultation with Year 6 and 7 students across the borough. The forum worked with Big Foot Media to visit schools in the Carshalton area and run interactive assemblies and drama workshops on staying safe. Twenty pupils were then selected to take part in filming the video with CineClub. The video focuses on bullying, talking to strangers and taking drugs.
