Today CfEY has launched a new report with Impetus, where we examine the current state of social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools in England.
In “Catalysing Social Emotional Learning in Schools in England”, we set out to understand how policy can create enabling environments to ensure that SEL thrives across our school system, especially benefiting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. We focussed on the 5-16 age range and in upstream approaches that promote social and emotional skills, rather than clinical interventions that supported pupils with an identified mental health need. We complemented our literature review with interviews with experts and leading practitioners in the field of SEL.
