As pupils return to school, and we all begin to see the benefits of restrictions being lifted, it would be easy to assume that everyone will be feeling great and pleased to return to ‘normal’. However, for some, the return to school may not be seen as such a good thing, anxiety of being in and around large groups of people will undoubtedly affect some students. Add to this all the other pressures that school life can bring for some, such as bullying, abuse, peer-pressure, and the on-going worries over exams and how they will be graded. Now more than ever it is vital that we are equipped and ready to help vulnerable students.

TrainingSchoolz provides a Mental well-being assignment for Teachers & Staff, that is perfect both for first time users, and as a refresher for those that have undertaken the assignment previously.

The aim of the assignment is to support schools in their understanding of policies and procedures around the mental well-being of children and young people. It provides information regarding good practice on how schools should address the situation of pupils with mental health issues.
