A whole school approach to emotional health and wellbeing
Monday 23rd March 2015
This month Public Health England have published the document: 'Promoting children and young people's emotional health and wellbeing. A whole school and college approach'.
This document sets out key actions that headteachers and college principals can take to embed a whole school approach to promoting emotional health and wellbeing. These actions are informed by evidence, and practitioner feedback about what works.
They build on what many schools and colleges are doing across the country but, if applied consistently and comprehensively will help protect and promote student emotional health and wellbeing.
Emotional Health and Wellbeing is one of the key themes of our local Healthy Schools programme. Wiltshire Healthy Schools are asked to submit evidence relating to the eight principles on page 6, as part of their subnmisssion for Healthy Schools Status.
This document and other current national guidance for schools, relating to Healthy Schools, can be found here.
