In this step, schools identify wellbeing as the focus for the inquiry.
Schools should consult the Wellbeing Policy and Framework for Practice which can be accessed here .
At an information-gathering stage, schools will consult with and collect information from key stakeholders, including staff, children and young people, and parents/carers, relating to current practice in the key areas of wellbeing promotion. This information is essential in order to highlight positive aspects and strengths in their practice and identify areas for development.
Where data already exists that supports the evidence base for the wellbeing promotion process, this can be drawn upon. Therefore, gathering evidence does not necessarily have to be a ‘from scratch’ exercise for schools.
