Understanding child and adolescent wellbeing

The Department for Education (DfE) has published a report looking at the influences on children and young people's wellbeing in England from the perspective of 21 practitioners.

Findings from the study found a consensus that the key factors that should be prioritised by practitioners, school leaders and government policy makers to enable a high level of wellbeing include: the nature of the overall educational and school environment; the development of a range of appropriate intrapersonal and interpersonal skills; and a stable and safe family environment.
