Parent Careers and Employment Support and Survey

As part of our ongoing Careers education at The Mountbatten School, we strive to provide our students with as many opportunities as possible to get a first-hand insight into the ever-changing and evolving world of work, ensuring they are in the most advantageous position to fulfil their college and employment aspirations. We have recently submitted our careers programme to the ‘Quality in Careers’ award body and are keenly awaiting recognition as a quality careers education provider.

We are seeking a broad range of careers and industries who are able to offer employer talks, mock interviews, work experience placements and advice to our students over the course of each academic year. If you think you may be able to support us with any of this provision, please complete the form in the button below to register your interest. You will join our contact list in order to support some of the future events we hope to deliver. Please could you share this link with any other friends or family that you think may be suitable to join our resource bank also.

Vaccinations

With cases of measles on the rise in the UK and across the world, Hampshire County Council is reminding parents/carers and students about the importance of catching up with the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine or other vaccines, ahead of any summer travel and festival plans.

Councillor Liz Fairhurst, Hampshire County Council’s Cabinet Lead Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health said: “Due to the pandemic, some people may have missed getting their routine vaccines and are not fully protected, which puts them at risk of catching and spreading serious illnesses. We strongly urge Hampshire residents to take this opportunity to check they’re up-to-date with their vaccines before their summer holidays or attending any festivals. Vaccination not only protects someone’s health but also helps prevent the spread of diseases within our communities.”

“Many young people might not be aware that they’ve missed out on important vaccinations and that’s where parents and carers can help. Having a conversation with a child about the importance of vaccination can help protect them, especially if they’re about to mix with large numbers of people at events or while travelling. If you’re unsure if your own or your child’s vaccinations are up-to-date, contact your GP Practice to find out.”

As a reminder, some of the vaccines that young people should have had by age 14 include:

• Vaccines that protect against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, and whooping cough. These are given at various points throughout childhood, with a booster given in school Year 9.
• The MMR vaccine - two doses of which should be given by the time a child starts school but can be provided at any point thereafter if any doses are missed. This vaccine protects against three diseases: measles, mumps and rubella.
• Meningitis vaccines, which include the Meningitis B, HiB/Meningitis C and Meningitis ACWY vaccine. The last of these is given to children who are in school Years 9 and 10.
• The HPV vaccine, which helps protect against cancers caused by the human papillomavirus and is given to both boys and girls at 12 to 13 years of age.

It is never too late to get vaccinated. If anyone has missed one or both doses of the MMR jab, or any of the other routine childhood vaccinations, they should contact their GP practice to book an appointment – or to check which they might have missed.

Further information about vaccinations can be found on the NHS website.
