Résumé : |
It is widely recognised that a child’s emotional health and wellbeing influences their cognitive development and learning as well as their physical and social health and their mental wellbeing in adulthood.This document describes 8 principles of a whole school or college approach to promoting mental health and wellbeing which, if applied consistently and comprehensively, will help contribute towards protecting and promoting children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing. Each principle is considered together with some examples from practice and a
question to help the reader to reflect on the implications for practice in their own setting. The document also signposts to resources to support implementation of a whole school or college approach (covering government guidance and advice, training for education staff, curriculum support, resources for young people, parents and carers) and examples of a range of organisations that provide mental health and wellbeing support focussed on school and college settings. This document will be useful to anyone responsible for promoting and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in schools and colleges, including headteachers, principals and their senior leadership teams, school and college governing bodies, senior mental health leads, SEN and pastoral leads, school nurses, educational psychologists and local public health teams. Other recommended reading includes the statutory guidance on ‘Keeping children safe in education’, ‘Supporting pupils at school with medical conditions,’ ‘Relationships Education, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) and Health Education, ‘Promoting the health and wellbeing of looked after children’, as well as advice for school staff on ‘Mental health and behaviour in schools’, and on ‘Counselling in schools’. The government’s Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Provision: a Green Paper also sets out ambitious, transformational proposals for health and education systems to support and promote mental health and wellbeing for children and young people. The proposals place schools and colleges at the centre of plans to embed a culture of openness around mental health and forge stronger links between education and health to ensure children and young people can access appropriate support. The key government commitments from the Green Paper include: 1. To incentivise and support all schools and colleges to identify and train a senior mental health lead with a new offer of training to help leads and staff to deliver whole school or college approaches to promoting better mental health. 2. To fund new Mental Health Support Teams, including supervision by NHS children and young people’s mental health staff, to provide specific extra capacity for early intervention and ongoing help. 3. Trial a 4-week waiting time for access to specialist NHS children and young people’s mental health services. This builds on the expansion of specialist NHS services already underway. Other relevant government guidance can be found in the resources section at the end of the document alongside other useful documents such as guidance from the PSHE Association on teaching about mental health and information on Mental Health and Wellbeing for the Further Education sector available from the Association of Colleges. |
