Resources

SORTS resources have been developed for use in schools with staff, parents, carers and students. Below, you can download them for free. Here's how to use them best:

Information and support sheets are best displayed in a highly visible area, such as the staff room, notice board or reception area. You may wish to provide them to specific staff, students or parents and carers as part of a conversation about what support is available.

Resources for all school staff can be emailed to staff members and displayed in the staff room. They can be used as reminders following mental health and self-harm training. 

Resources for the wellbeing and mental health team are designed to be used by staff with a mental health training, as part of their support to students managing self-harm behaviours.
