What action has the Welsh Government taken to educate school students in order to remove the stigma from students who may be suffering from mental health issues?
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.
