    From Concern to Care - Supporting Children’s Mental Health

    In this first episode of Safeguarding in Focus, host Sam Eustace speaks with clinical psychologist Dr. Asha Patel, CEO of Innovating Minds, about how settings working with children can move from reactive responses to proactive, trauma-informed systems of care. Her multi-award winning organisation empowers schools and communities by delivering essential support and psychological services that promote emotional wellbeing. Drawing on her background in forensic and clinical psychology, Dr. Patel explores how children’s mental health needs have intensified over the last decade, why education settings are often expected to fill systemic gaps in care and how whole-school approaches can lead to meaningful early intervention. The conversation highlights that supporting not only students but also educators and leaders who are navigating increasing emotional and safeguarding pressures, is essential in effective safeguarding. KEY POINTS: Trauma-informed practice is about everyday interactions, relationships and culture. Effective safeguarding is predicated on staff support, including supervision and reflective practice. Whole-school approaches create sustainable change, allowing for earlier interventions and improving outcomes for children.
