TIC TAC aims to
support and listen to young people,
and
to provide a confidential service
TIC TAC is a Health Centre based on the school site which operates at lunchtime.
The Centre has health professionals who attend at lunch time who will see young people as individuals or in small groups.
Following the reorganisation of the Paignton Community & Sports College sites, both TIC TAC services are now firmly established and operational.
Both the Borough Road and Waterleat Road TIC TAC operate five days a week.
However, there are now only three medical professionals working at
Borough Road. To counteract this the Tic Tac staff have undertaken training to enable them to run Sexual Health sessions.
More group work has been taking place in the lounge over lunchtime on the days when no medical staff are available.
Now that TIC TAC is firmly established on Borough Road after the site
change, it is hoped that we can further assist our Sixth Form involvement and maybe link in with the peer-mentoring programme.
Borough Road Drop-in Sessions (covers subjects such as Peer Pressure, Bullying, Alcohol and Drug Issues, Sexual Health, Social Development, Anger Management, Self Esteem/Confidence, Self Harm, General Health, Family Issues, Social Issues):
Mondays and Wednesdays - one to one sessions with a health professional
Tuesdays: Year 10
Wednesdays: Year 11
Fridays: Years 12/13
