Havering Emotional Support Team (HEST)

Havering Emotional Support Team is a new collaborative service which is designed to help meet the emotional wellbeing needs of children and young people in education settings. This support is aimed at children and young people who may be experiencing mild to moderate emotional wellbeing concerns. We provide additional support working alongside other professionals who are already based in and around schools and colleges as part of the Whole School Approach.

Currently, HEST is available in a number of placement schools across the borough, which includes both primary and secondary schools, with the aim of branching out in more schools and Havering colleges in the future.
