The Department for Education (DfE) is offering a grant of £1,200 for eligible state-funded schools and colleges in England to train a senior mental health lead to develop and implement a whole school or college approach to mental health and wellbeing. This training is not compulsory, but it is part of the government’s commitment to offer this training to all
eligible schools and colleges by 2025. For more information, visit: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/senior-mental-health-lead-training
Working under the Public Health 8-point modle and with a role as a figurehead for mental health across school, the Senior Mental Health Lead is able to galvanise and hold your mental health offer in school.
BEP provide two DfE approved trainings:
Foundation – for those wanting to start their journey into mental health leadership Intermediate – for those seeking to dive deeper and become more systemic and strategic in their role All training sessions equip you to be able to audit provision and move forward with action plans along with, importantly, linking you into wider, ongoing (and crucially) local support for your role.
Check our Events calendar pages for upcoming training dates.
