Dear all,

The tragic stabbings that occurred on Tuesday evening in Camden have impacted across the Camden community of schools, early years and college settings. I have been and spoken to a number of heads this week, where their school community has been directly affected by the fatalities.

Please find attached the advice and guidance document which is a helpful aide memoir for schools, as well as useful links to direct support to those schools and settings where there are specific issues. The EPS has offered a more direct critical incident response to one setting and the EPS / Healthy Schools Lead are in contact with others that are more directly affected. Schools can contact their allocated EP, CAMHS lead or healthy schools lead for advice in the first instance.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance, Jon.Abbey@camden.gov.uk.
