Outcome Indicators
 
5.1 A whole school approach to promoting social and emotional wellbeing in schools should be universal and activities to ensure the delivery of these programmes should target commissioners and providers of services, practitioners working with children and young people, parents and carers and children and young people themselves

 

Rationale
Informed by reviews of effectiveness evidence, NICE public health guidance 12 and 20 recommended that a whole school approach to promoting social and emotional wellbeing in schools should be universal and activities to ensure the delivery of these programmes should target commissioners and providers of services, practitioners working with children and young people, parents and carers and children and young people themselves. The NHS Health Scotland Commentary on NICE public health guidance 12, and the Scottish Perspective on NICE public health guidance 20 supported the action points subject, where appropriate, to adaptation to fit Scottish organisational arrangements.
