Supporting schools to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people
Updated guidance on mental health and behaviour
Thursday 22nd November 2018
This month the guidance from the DfE on mental health and behaviour in schools has been updated.
This guidance is for school staff and applies to all schools.
It gives advice on:
- how to create a whole school culture, including promoting positive mental health
- understanding the link between mental health and behaviour
- how to identify children with possible mental health problems
- where and how to put in place support, including working with external agencies where required
It also provides links to sources of further support and guidance.
The intervention and support guidance may also be useful for colleges and other post-16 institutions.
Links to this and other national guidance can be found here
