Well-being Champions

The Wellbeing Champions role is not a replacement for existing support within the school but an addition to the way we work. The support the Champions will provide to others will be at a very basic level and is a way of creating a positive ethos within our school in which children and young people are helped to support and think of others.  They will be supervised and supported by the Well-being Team.

  • care about the mental health and wellbeing of those around them and want to make a difference
  • be able to support and help pupils new to the school to find new friends and settle in
  • can provide a listening ear to children who want to talk about something
  • are willing to develop their knowledge and understanding about mental health and well-being within the school so they can help other pupils
  • work with the well-being team to research what the school does well and what it could do better in relation to mental health and wellbeing of children
  • work with the well-being team to support and educate children about how they can look after their mental health and well-being
  • be willing to support other pupils in the school and help them to find solutions to some of their problems

  • Be passionate about Mental Health & Wellbeing
  • Be ready to make a difference by helping others
  • Want to be involved in new opportunities & create something positive
  • Be willing to learn new skills and undertake training after school
  • Be able to use your initiative and come up with ideas to improve the well-being of others

What do you need to do?
