Universal Provision for Mental Health in the Classrooms
Helping Hands have been busy talking to focus groups from each year to find out what adults in school are doing to support Universal Provision for Mental Health in the Classrooms. They found that there is so much going on around the school which is helping children to understand emotions, learn ways to help improve mental health and manage different feelings and situations and generally just feel better about themselves. Check out our findings here and have a browse through the photos which they snapped of some lovely areas mental health areas and resources in the classrooms.
Helping Hands want everyone to feel safe and happy moving around the school now we have returned to whole school assemblies and performances. They understand some challenges and anxieties children might be feeling with this so they are now in the corridors to model good behaviour and offer friendly smile as everyone moves about the school.

Have a look at our Helping Hands Meeting minutes where we asked the question:
'Are there any areas of the school you don't feel safe in?'
