A summary of the key findings from the Department for Education's (DfE) research into mental health provision in schools and colleges. The primary aim of the survey was to gain a representative profile of activity within schools, colleges and other educational institutions, as well as providing an understanding of the issues that institutions face in delivering mental health provision. The research includes a national survey of provision, and case studies exploring decision-making, models of delivery and experiences of different approaches.
This report summarises part of a wider, mixed-methods project exploring mental health and character education provision in schools and colleges across England. The research revealed a broad range of activities and approaches aimed at promoting positive mental health and wellbeing among all pupils, identifying those who might have particular mental health needs and supporting those with identified needs.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
