“……for the social and emotional wellbeing for children and young people, specifically, vulnerable children aged under 5 years and all children in primary and secondary education…..

…. social and emotional wellbeing creates the foundations for healthy behaviours and educational attainment. It also helps prevent behavioural problems (including substance misuse) and mental health problems. That’s why it is important to focus on the social and emotional wellbeing of children and young people.” National Institute for Health and Care Excellence 2016
