Reviewing Health and Wellbeing Education in Schools

Susie and Julie recently delivered a morning session on Reviewing, Planning and Delivering Health and Wellbeing Education at the Scottish Council for Independent Schools "Health and Wellbeing" conference.

Health and Wellbeing education is becoming increasingly important in schools. We can support schools to plan and deliver effective education on a number of health related topics including Substance Misuse, Tobacco, Sexual Health and Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Developing Links within the Health Curriculum

Create was commissioned by NHS Forth Valley to review and update the health education programme of three secondary schools within one local authority area.

This review differed from our previous work as the focus was to develop a curriculum with links across the topic areas of substance misuse, relationships and sexual health and mental health and emotional wellbeing. This was in response to teacher’s views that there is significant repetition across these topic areas.
