As the summer months arrive, bringing with them a well-deserved break for many, it’s important to remember that Prostart’s commitment to your safety and wellbeing remains unwavering. While the routine of your apprenticeship might shift, our dedicated Safeguarding Team is still here to provide support, guidance, and a listening ear throughout the summer period.

We understand that breaks, while enjoyable, can sometimes bring new challenges or amplify existing concerns. Whether you’re navigating new social environments, spending more time online, or simply adjusting to a different routine, your safety and mental health are our top priority.

Your Support System, Even During the Break

Our Safeguarding Team is fully operational and ready to assist you with any concerns you may have. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Online Safety: Navigating social media, online gaming, and digital interactions safely.
  • Mental Health & Wellbeing: If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just need someone to talk to, please reach out.
  • Personal Safety: Any concerns about your safety, whether in your community or personal life.
  • Prevent Concerns: Understanding and addressing potential risks of radicalisation or extremism.

We encourage you to remember that no concern is too small. If something doesn’t feel right, or if you’re worried about yourself or a fellow learner, reaching out is the first and most important step.

General Wellbeing Tips for a Positive Summer:

Beyond specific concerns, maintaining your overall wellbeing during the summer is key. Here are a few general tips:

  • Stay Connected: Keep in touch with friends, family, or mentors. Social connection is vital for mental health.
  • Maintain a Routine: While flexibility is great, try to keep some structure to your day, especially regarding sleep and meals.
  • Get Active: Physical activity is a fantastic stress reliever and mood booster.
  • Limit Screen Time: Balance your digital interactions with real-world activities.
  • Mindful Online Engagement: Be critical of information you encounter online and remember to report anything suspicious. For more on this, you can refer to our recent article on staying safe online: staying safe online july 25 – Prostart
