County lines is a major threat to young people and vulnerable adults throughout England,
Scotland and Wales. “County lines” is a term used to describe gangs and organised criminal
networks involved in moving illegal drugs in the UK. They are likely to use young people to
move and store the drugs or money, and they will often use violence and force.
This leaflet provides information on the warning signs for parents/carers to look out for and tips on what they can do to help. There are contact numbers and email addresses at the end if you need help, advice or guidance with anything County Lines related.

Next week we are going to be taking part in Children’s Mental Health Week, organised by Place2Be. The theme of the week is ‘EXPRESS YOURSELF.’ We are going to achieve this through finding creative ways to share feelings, thoughts or ideas, through things like art, writing, music , dance and doing things that make you feel good.
We will be doing loads of activities at school and those working remotely at home will be asked to join in. Keep checking your Google Classroom to see what is going on in your class.
Gary is smiling about completing his art ar home. Well done Gary!
