The Sandwell Well-being Charter Mark and Whole School Approach to Well-being: Training Day

A National Training Event for Educational Psychologists

The day will introduce you to the key elements of the Sandwell Whole School Approach to Well-being.  A key part of the day will be training on how to deliver the Well-being Charter Mark in your schools and Local Authorities, along with how the process informs our work with the MHST Team in Sandwell.

(Already shared with over 40 services and independent practitioners)

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.
