Course overview

This training is part of nurtureuk’s six principles of learning and the whole-school nurturing approach, which has a key focus on the school and environment, and emphasises the balance between care and challenge which incorporates attunement, warmth and connection, alongside structure, high expectations and a focus on achievement and attainment.

It is intended for SMHLs to strategically plan their whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing, as it is essential to know the individual and group social emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs of pupils. This is where the Boxall Profile® Online subscription (included in this bundle for a period of 12 months) and the associated training will support the SMHL.

Voted by schools as the most popular assessment tool in the DfE’s mental health in schools survey (2017), the Boxall Profile® helps schools to take a public health approach to behaviour, by identifying needs, interpreting data, planning interventions and monitoring progress.
