We believe that the following three principles need to be in place in order to build resilient organisations, as well as resilient people within them. To implement these key principles, schools and colleges need to be adequately resourced and supported in order to play their part within a wider system, to support pupil’s mental health and wellbeing.
- Better Balance between Wellbeing and Attainment
- Better Training and Support for School Staff on Mental Health
- Better Support for Children and Young People When Needed
