Manchester attacks: advice if you are upset or worried about what’s happened

 

The terrible events in Manchester this week have prompted some questions and concerns from our children. The website http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/40019250 has some excellent facts and advice you may want to view with your children. I led an assembly after the Westminster attack and focussed on those who ran to save and protect – doctors, nurses, police, emergency services, taxi drivers, hotel staff all offering to help at no cost. It is important that we encourage our children to find reassurance in the courage, hope and bravery we see in people of all colours, religions and races and remind them never to be afraid to enjoy themselves and live their lives to the fullest. Have a safe and happy half term.
