Summary of the Day

- Training on delivering The Sandwell Well-being Charter Mark:

This action research process supports schools to identify and develop good practice in the area of emotional well-being.  You will be trained in how to undertake the audit process and how to support schools to co-construct a personalised action plan based on their data.  The Charter Mark is underpinned by Public Health research highlighting the range of factors that promote

emotional well-being in schools (PHE, 2015,2021). The Charter Mark reflects positive psychology and community psychology principles relating to mental health and well-being.

- An introduction to the ‘Healthy Mind, Happy Me’ curriculum:

You will be introduced to the primary school curriculum and the new secondary school curriculum; which have been developed to support schools to successfully promote the development of psychological skills that are linked to emotional well-being in children.

-The Sandwell Well-being Screening Tool:

An introduction to the well-being screening tool that we have developed as part of the whole-school approach.  This can be used to measure the well-being of individual children or groups of children.
