The Wellbeing Policy Statement and Framework for Practice 2018 – 2023
The Wellbeing Policy Statement and Framework for Practice 2018-2023 is designed for schools, centres for education, children and young people, parents/carers, support services, government departments, non-government organisations and all those with an interest in wellbeing promotion in education.
The Department of Education and Skills aims to ensure that the experience of children and young people from the early years and throughout their primary and post primary education will be one that enhances, promotes, values and nurtures their wellbeing.
The vision and ambition of the Department of Education and Skills in relation to Wellbeing Promotion sets out to ensure that by 2023:
• the promotion of wellbeing will be at the core of the ethos of every school and centre for education
• all schools and centres for education will provide evidence-informed approaches and support, appropriate to need, to promote the wellbeing of all their children and young people
• Ireland will be recognised as a leader in this area
To implement this policy every school and centre for education is required by 2023, to use the School Self-Evaluation (SSE) process to initiate a wellbeing promotion review and development cycle.
