The GoTo

North Yorkshire County Council jointly with the NHS have created a new website to help support mental health within young people. This new website is dedicated to helping children and young people find mental health support in North Yorkshire.  The Go-to is a portal or ‘single point of information’ for mental health support services offered by different agencies in the county. With lots of useful tips, information and signposting the site has specific ‘young person’, ‘parent/carer’ and ‘professional’ tabs for easy navigation.

The films offer advice across six main subject areas, with ten additional films offering supporting information. The films can be viewed in any order at any time. Each film has a dedicated page where you’ll also find helpful advice and links to other resources.

E-safety...apps, games and social media

NSPCC have reviewed the most popular apps, games and social media your children are using. They have then created easy to read guides to support you in supporting your child. Each game, app and social media site have background information which outlines their legal age requirements along with a description of its use. It is then rated against key e-safety areas: safety features, privacy and location, reporting and blocking and content. Before finally giving it an overall safety rating. 

Click here to be taken to the website and learn more about the apps, games and social media your child is using.
