Promoting pupil wellbeing in school

Thursday 8 October 2009

Schools are at the heart of children and young people's emotional, physical and intellectual development. Thanks to Every Child Matters and the recent government white paper Your Child, Your Schools, Our future: Building a 21st Century Schools System, the role that schools play in securing children's wellbeing is now being recognised.

To support schools in meeting their duties, NCB is bringing together leading experts in the field with head teachers, school governors and children's services professionals to examine what exactly wellbeing is, what it means for schools, and how partnerships can improve outcomes.

Participants will have the opportunity to explore what is needed to meet duties and drive forward health and wellbeing outcomes.

The conference will be held on 14 October at the British Museum.

Speakers will include children's minister Dawn Primarolo; Patrick Leeson, Ofsted; Professor Richard Layard, LSE; Colleen McClaughlin, University of Cambridge; Professor John West-Burnham and Sir Paul Ennals, chief executive, NCB.
