What is the TicTac Centre?

TicTac is a health information and advice centre open to the students of Liskeard School & Community College, which can provide advice on a range of issues that affect young people.

Everyone who goes to TicTac will be treated in a non-judgemental, friendly way, as the staff have a genuine interest in the health and well-being of young people.

The centre is open Monday - Thursday between 10.45am and 2.00pm and Friday between 12.00noon and 2.00pm, no appointment is necessary. Out of hours service can be arranged if necessary, and we also have a texting and email service that can be used. Phone numbers and email address can be found at the bottom of this webpage.

Rooms

We have a main room for large groups and two smaller rooms for individual consultations and small groups.  All rooms have blinds for privacy. Over recent times, TicTac has been heavily modernised, and helps provide a comfortable environment for students to talk to our staff about any issues they may have.

Confidentiality

Although the TicTac building is on the Liskeard School premises, we are a separate organisation from the school.  As such, any information given to staff in TicTac will stay in TicTac.  In exceptional circumstances, such as if you were being harmed or were at risk of being in any danger, we will need to speak to someone.  The young person involved will be asked for their permission to pass the information on before any action is taken.

TicTac is a teacher and parent free zone.  If a teacher wishes to talk to a member of TicTac staff we ask them either to phone us or to come in outside of TicTac opening times.
