The Anna Freud Centre have launched a national hub aimed at supporting Senior Mental Health Leads. The hub is modelled around the 8 areas of development seen in the WSA model which are as follows:
- LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
- SCHOOL ETHOS AND ENVIRONMENT
- CURRICULUM, TEACHING AND LEARNING
- STUDENT VOICE
- STAFF DEVELOPMENT, HEALTH AND WELLBEING
- IDENTIFYING NEED AND MONITORING IMPACT
- WORKING WITH PARENTS/CARERS
- TARGETED SUPPORT
There will be some cross over with our locally produced WSA Padlet, but there are plenty of resources on this new sight that are not included in ours so it is well worth a look. Some of our locally produced resources are featured on this site too and it is great to see them getting national coverage.
You can find it here: https://mentallyhealthyschools.org.uk/whole-school-or-college-resources/
We have also included in in our resource hub section of this website for easy access in the future. It’s fantastic to see resources like this being produced and raising the profile of Mental Health Leads in schools.
