The aim of this session is to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the role of the designated governor for wellbeing. Whilst this is not a statutory role, it is recommended as good practice in the Governor Handbook. With the roll out of the DfE’s grant and training for the Senior Mental Health Lead and mental health firmly sitting within the statutory guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education, the need for a designated wellbeing governor is vital.
This session has been designed to take account of the wonderful diverse backgrounds and roles within the governing role. It will ensure you come away with a greater understanding and confidence in order to fulfil your role as the designated governor and impact the lives of the pupils and adults in school. What we won’t be covering however is a lot of detail on mental illness and recommend you access Mental Health First Aid training for further info.
