Developing a Policy for Your Whole School Approach to Wellbeing

About this training

At Anna Freud, we work with the understanding that a mental wellbeing policy is a representation of your whole-school approach. It is your setting's commitment to promoting and supporting the mental wellbeing of those in your community through a variety of approaches.

This course will equip you with the tools you need to develop a policy that is unique to your setting: reflective of your ethos and culture and representative of your whole-school community.

We will share with you key information, resources and frameworks and provide you with the opportunity to consider the practical aspects of your policy – its purpose, length, format and accessibility. You’ll also come away with a robust structure that you can use as a foundation to develop your own policy.
