“Where will we fit this in !!”

The aim of this workshop is to allow participants to consider and address implementation issues when planning SEAL within or alongside their PSHE and Citizenship provision.

It will identify commonalities across SEAL, PSHE and Citizenship, Every Child Matters and The National Healthy School Status which will help with effective planning, timetabling and delivery

WHY ?Dudley Health Promoting Schools Service believe that Emotional health and Well-

Being underpins all of our work in schools.

“The central role that the emotions play in every learning experience is one of the key findings of recent research. Much learning, moreover takes place within a social context. Before

children can begin to tackle the cognitive demands of any task, they need to be able to address the social and emotional

components that accompany the activity.”

(SEAL guidance)

HOW ?

SEAL does cover most of the ECM aims… what it doesn’t cover is specific topic-based content from the PSHE and Citizenship Framework

“Good practice in school PSHE and good practice in the development of social and emotional aspects of learning will cover a broadly similar range of skills, with

PSHE covering a range of topics or areas not specifically addressed through the SEAL programme”
