They are part of our evolution as a species. So\, when does anxiety become a problem (as to the sufferer there is no such thing as an abnormal fear)?\nWhen is anxiety actually beneficial to the individual?\nWhy do some children develop anxiety problems and what are the risk and resilience factors? • What is the evidence-based for how we might support children in managing their anxieties in schools\n\nSue Stirling: Auditing your school’s wellbeing\, an approach based on the Weare (2015) whole-school wellbeing framework:\nThis workshop aims to enable attendees to use an auditing tool\, developed by the National Children’s Bureau (NCB) and informed by Professor Katherine Weare’s whole-school wellbeing framework\, to audit their own school’s current wellbeing situation and practices\, as well as the impact of those practices. Delegates attending this workshop should leave with a basic understanding of how to use this very newly published and comprehensive tool to inform a school-wide wellbeing strategy. \nThere will be opportunities to attend several workshops in addition to discussion groups following a workshop to facilitate discussions around the topic.
