Hertfordshire emotional wellbeing and behaviour strategy - update
The Hertfordshire Emotional wellbeing and behaviour strategy (EWB) created and agreed in partnership between schools, parents, and Hertfordshire’s NHS partners was originally published in February 2020, but the implementation of the document stalled due to the global pandemic in March 2020.
The EWB strategy aimed to safeguard the entitlement of children and promotes approaches that recognise positive emotional wellbeing is an essential prerequisite to effective learning and will benefit the whole school community.
EWB implementation guide
A co-produced implementation guide has now been created to support schools, settings and partners that focuses on the ways to embed the strategy into your school or setting’s ethos and culture in order to protect, champion and safeguard the entitlement of those children who are at risk of being out of education.
Primary aims
- To support schools and settings to embed the underlying principles in policy and practice
- To enable partners and stakeholders to support schools and settings to develop and embed support for positive emotional wellbeing
