Early intervention focused on child emotional wellbeing is probably the most effective social investment any society could make, both from economic and moral perspectives. The new emphasis on promoting child mental health in schools is a welcome move to help us realise this ambition, and one that the teaching profession has consistently supported. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>This raises a key issue. Teaching is a tough job. It can be immensely rewarding but also physically and emotionally draining. Safeguarding and mental health issues can be intense and complex. Children\u2019s behavioural and emotional problems are increasing. Many schools recognise this and provide support for their staff. The new focus on children\u2019s mental health, though, serves as an important reminder to us that we must couple support for school staff with the ambitions we have for children\u2019s wellbeing. If we don\u2019t we will be letting down all school staff. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If we want our school staff to do what\u2019s asked of them, then we need to make sure that their mental health and wellbeing is effectively supported.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;
