Developing a preventative approach

They draw on learning from case studies which formed part of research on support for mental health and character education in schools, colleges and alternative provision across England . The case study schools were selected based on their reported active engagement in provision for mental health and character development. The case study settings included mainstream (both LA maintained and academy) primary and secondary schools and further education colleges. Where there was transferable learning for mainstream settings, the practice examples also contain findings from special schools and Pupil Referral Units (PRUs).
