Writing a Mental Health and Wellbeing Policy for Schools 

Did you know that one in six children of school age now has a diagnosable mental health problem?

It is imperative that schools develop and implement mental health policies and procedures to promote a safe environment for students.

These documents are designed to help schools to develop policies and procedures to empower staff to:

• Spot the warning signs of mental ill health.
• Support students in need of help.
• Follow appropriate referral pathways and procedures.

A well-developed and effectively implemented policy can prevent students from falling through the gaps.

The template and further information documents are customisable for each school.
