Welcome to the inaugural report of the Mental Health and Wellbeing in UK Schools.
The 21st Century brings a unique set of challenges to leaders in our education system.

Multi-Agency Safeguarding and Child Protection (level 3)
10 April 2019
This full-day workshop includes a range of scenarios designed to explore the various risks children and young people face in our communities. There is more in depth knowledge around legislation and the child protection process is explored. The thresholds of intervention (early help, child in need and child protection) are examined and the referral process is outlined.
This workshop is suitable for those practitioners who work directly with children or parents. Those who attend this workshop should have a basic understanding of safeguarding and what to look out for (as in level 1 above) but they do not have to have attended the above course with the LSCB.
This course content is refreshed regularly and some practitioners are mandated to attend yearly. The other full-day specialist courses (below) can also meet this yearly update requirement. The half-day refresher (directly below) may also satisfy this. Please discuss with your safeguarding lead or manager if you are unsure.

Active kids are healthier, happier and more successful.
18 March 2019
They perform better in their classrooms, communities and future careers. That’s why ukactive Kids and Nike have launched Active School Hero, to recognise the achievements of those people working in primary schools across greater London who are helping to get kids active.
We would really appreciate your help in promoting Active School Hero within your boroughs and across your networks to encourage people to nominate – the initiative will identify ‘heroes’ in every one of London’s boroughs.
Nominations are free of charge and you may nominate as many Heroes as you would like. It can be any school staff member in a London primary school who helps kids be active; from the lollypop lady, teaching assistant and librarian to the catering staff, active travel lead or the after school activities manager. The nominations will close on April 8th at 11:59pm.
Nominations can be made through the website https://activeschoolhero.com/ and please see below for the toolkit to promote the award through your networks and feel free to share the attached posters: ttps://activeschoolhero.com/ASH_Digital_Toolkit.zip

Natural History Museum – Teachers Advisory Panel
31 January 2019
The Natural History Museum is recruiting Primary and Secondary Science teachers for a new Teachers Advisory Panel for our exciting new project, Gardens. Through this programme students will design and investigate their own citizen science projects. Student projects will have a real-world impact on science, interaction with real scientists, and develop student’s skills in thinking scientifically. Teachers will be able to attend a CPD session to help guide their class through the process, and then submit the student’s projects for CREST awards and other recognition.
Your role as a member of the Teachers Advisory panel will be to contribute your teaching expertise as we design, develop and test the workshop and CPD sessions over the next year. Sometimes this will be through face-to-face round table meetings, at other times it will be through emailed surveys or short phone calls. It is a really exciting, innovative project and you will have the opportunity to help us shape it, and add a huge amount of value to the process.
If you are interested in being part of the panel, please contact Joe Sullivan, London Partnerships Manager at joe.sullivan@nhm.ac.uk
