How does the Welsh Government ensure that the signs of anxiety disorder in children are recognised early in schools?
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 15/03/2024
The Welsh Government has published a framework on embedding a whole school approach to emotional and mental wellbeing, which is statutory guidance for schools and local authorities, backed by £13.6m of funding in our 2024-25 budget. Local authorities and governing bodies must have regard to this framework when carrying out their duties, which is central to the success of learning about health and well-being and the four purposes of the new curriculum.
