7. Emotional health and wellbeing

It's so crucial to consider the emotional health and wellbeing of the child.

Sometimes there is a focus on academic gaps and targets –which may not been the main focus for the child at this moment in time.

There are assessments which can be used but the best information comes from the day-to-day interactions and observations.

Resources

The Anna Freud mental health toolkit for schools "Measuring and monitoring children and young people’s mental wellbeing" is a useful tool you can use. 

Analyse the information from the assessment:

  • What does it tell you?
  • What are the positives and the areas of need?
  • What are you going to do to help meet these areas of need?
