Whole School Approach to Wellbeing
Welcome to our Whole School Approach to Wellbeing page.
Whether you are a Practitioner, Parent, Family member or Young person this page will help to explain the support available to promote and enhance the wellbeing of your school community.
This site is still under development and we will add resources, information and tools as they become available. The Our SHANARRI School Survey can be accessed here, along with all of the documents that support it. As it is developed wider, we will share good practice examples and versions suitable for a broader cross section of children and young people. There are already case studies over on our News page.
We are pleased to say that we continue to work with C&YP to make changes and create new resources.
Our SHANARRI School
We have created posters for each indicator at the request of pupils and staff. These can either be used in conjunction with the survey to support pupils when completing it, or as a separate resource. Or you may wish to display them as posters around your school.
OurSHANARRISchool Process.pdfThe 'Our SHANARRI School' Survey has been co-created with C&YP across Highland. The word clouds, benchmarks statements and format of the tool have all been written in partnership with our pupils to allow us to hear their voice and act upon what they are telling us.
We suggest you follow the process detailed when using the survey, and continue to involve C&YP, staff and families as you progress around the wheel. Your link Educational Psychologist or Primary Mental Health Worker will be able to support you as you take your next steps.
The survey is live and can be accessed by clicking the link above, when your whole school has completed it please contact Laura Husher to extract your data. Please only use it when you are ready, as it will be collecting all responses.
If you are from out-with Highland and are keen to access the survey please email Laura directly for a copy of the form.

ANALYSING YOUR 'OUR SHANARRI SCHOOL' Survey Results.pdfMaking the Joins
Our Making the Joins document links together the Anna Freud THRIVE model, with what GIRFEC looks like in Highland and the C&YP's Mental Health & Wellbeing: Knowledge & Skills Framework for the Scottish Workforce. We hope this document will help everyone to understand what is out there, how it is accessed and when it can be accessed. We also include more detailed information about some of the services that provide wellbeing support in schools. We will add to this document as we receive more information about services.

Whilst this document has primarily been developed to support you to consider which training will help you to maintain, or make improvements across the wellbeing indicators after using the Our SHANARRI School survey. This should also be helpful to schools and settings when looking at staff development and meeting pupil need regardless of whether you have used the survey. Remember though, that using the survey ensures that the voice of children and young people remains at the heart of your decision making in considering how best to support their wellbeing.
