Social and Emotional Health

We support schools to improve children and young people’s social and emotional health.

Social and Emotional Health is an extremely wide and diverse topic area and it is important that schools consider all aspects of the school day: including ethos and culture, curriculum, teaching and learning, discipline and reward, environment, support services and targeted interventions.

Training & Events

Training has been developed to support your school to consider a wide-range of topic areas related to the social and emotional health of pupils.

This includes training to support an ethos of anti-bullying, e-safety, promoting positive body image and self esteem and understanding and supporting behaviour.

Manchester Healthy Schools are committed to improving the social and emotional health of children and young people across the city.

Our universal training is available for all schools that have completed the Health Check.

Schools that have prioritised Social and Emotional Health this year will have access to a wider selection of ‘in-house’ training and support to ensure that they are able to make significant progress in this area.

Please find a full list of training available to support the development of Social and Emotional Health below.
