The Sandwell well-being charter mark and whole school approach to well-being

This training will provide you with everything your service needs to run the Charter Mark in your area.

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 in 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). The Charter Mark reflects positive psychology and community psychology principles relating to mental health and well-being. You will be introduced to the new primary school curriculum; this has been developed to  support schools to successfully promote the development of psychological skills that are linked to emotional well-being in children. You will also be introduced 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.
