Sickness & Diarrhoea

We are aware of a few cases in school over the past week. We follow HSC Public Health Agency guidance which states children should be kept off school for 48 hours from the last episode of either. If your child does have any sickness & diarrhoea then we ask you to follow these guidelines and contact school as normal to report their absence. If your child is sent home from school then this guidance will also apply.

Community Support is a person-centred Housing Related Support service that is delivered in the community and/or remotely to enable people to sustain their tenancies, or work with tenants to prevent losing them.   The range of Housing Related Support offered varies depending on the needs identified by the individual applicant and can range from budgeting support, setting up and maintaining a home through to accessing specialist support.  Support is FREE and generally available between 3-6 months.

Rotherham Council have commissioned two local providers, Action Housing And Roundabout to deliver this support.

This may also include people who have recently been re-housed following a period of: Homelessness, residential rehab, detox, or prison, or people leaving supported housing, mental health rehabilitation services or in transition between accommodation types.
  • The service is voluntary and there must be a willingness to work with the Service and other relevant agencies to complete an outcome focussed support plan.
