LEHSS has seven current pathways of support that all education settings within Lancashire can access.
These are:
- Core and Refresher Training Pathway – provides knowledge and skills on a range of topics related to children’s emotional health and mental wellbeing.
- Relationships, Connectedness and Belonging Pathway – provides skills to develop compassionate relationships as well as cultivate an ethos and environment of connectedness and belonging in your setting.
- Skills for the Mind Pathway – provides knowledge and skills to enable you to attend to your personal, team and organisational wellbeing needs.
- Identifying Need and Monitoring Impact Pathway – provides skills to identify the wellbeing needs of everyone within the school community, including ways to monitor the impact of interventions.
- Working with Parents and Carers Pathway – provides you with a framework and skills to work effectively with parents and carers.
- Targeted Support Pathway – provides you with knowledge and skills to provide targeted support to students with more urgent or significant mental health needs.
- Coaching, Consultation and Supervision Pathway – a range of dedicated spaces, facilitated by clinical psychologists, for coaching, supervision and consultation. This includes an offer of support to settings following critical incidents and peer support network meetings.
Each pathway maps onto to one of the Department for Education (2021) eight principles of a whole school or college approach to promoting mental health and wellbeing, the Ofsted Inspection Framework as well as the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance where appropriate.
We hope this will enable settings to easily demonstrate how LEHSS training may benefit their setting as well as support the process of collating evidence of best practice
