What was done?

This video shows children learning about what health and wellbeing means for them and what “getting it right for them” means in practice in their school. In planning for health and wellbeing, the staff consider the health and wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes and also consider the wellbeing indicators within that, so when they’re taking forward, for example, interdisciplinary work they take both of those things into account. The wellbeing indicators are used in a very practical way in the classroom. The children can use them for a focus of their health lesson, but also use them during their work in the classroom. Every classroom has a wellbeing indicator wheel on the wall. This is used to engage in dialogue, in debate and discussion with the children so it is part of their everyday lives and means something to them.

Why it was done?

Staff wanted all children to have a very strong understanding of the value of GIRFEC and the wellbeing indicators. They wanted children to know how to use them in their daily lives and to be able to express when they felt safe and cared for .

What was the impact?

Staff feel there has been positive impact through this work. Children are better able to express their feelings and share that when they feel safe and cared for? They understand they have a voice and should use this if they ever don’t feel safe or cared for in any situation.
