“Voice of the Pupil” mental health project – register your interest
We are looking for schools to participate in the SCHOOLS NorthEast Healthy MindED Commission’s “Voice of the Pupil” project. Further information can be found here: SNE – VOTP.
This project uses small focus groups with pupils in school settings to explore their experiences of mental health. The insight gained from these discussions will help inform school development plans in relation to mental health and also feed back to the Commission to allow for reporting at a regional and national level.
Each school will be provided with training to carry out the focus groups in their own settings and be supported by a key partner from another school. There will be an introductory event in September for interested parties to hear more about the project and decide if this is something they want to be part of. This will then be followed by two training workshops in October. Dates for these events are as follows:
Introductory event – 14 September 2018 (events in north and south of the region)
First training workshop – 28 September 2018
Second training workshop – 19 October 2018
Venues to be confirmed.
