At the heart of nurture is a focus on wellbeing and relationships and a drive to support the growth and development of children and young people\u00a0(1).<\/p>\n

Why a Nurturing Approach?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A nurturing approach has been promoted as key to supporting mental health and wellbeing and attainment in Scottish schools. It is also recognised as one of the main ways of supporting the needs of children and young people who have experienced adversity and trauma (2).<\/p>\n

Renfrewshire\u2019s Nurturing Relationships Approach (RNRA) emphasises that relationships are at the heart of nurturing approaches and provides an implementation process for establishments to develop nurturing relationships across schools, ELCCs and communities.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 RNRA helps staff to understand the key importance of nurturing relationships to children and young peoples\u2019 mental health and wellbeing, social and emotional development and attainment.

Who is already on board?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Primary schools and all Secondary schools, specialist provisions and Early Learning and Childcare Centres have committed to developing RNRA. We have previously worked with a small pilot group of our funded providers in the early years to support their RNRA journey, however there is not currently a pathway for funded providers to implement RNRA.<\/p>\n

How can I find out more?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please explore the RNRA tab on the main menu. We have a range of guides, videos, examples of good practice, resources and other useful information here which is updated regularly. If you require specific information about RNRA, please get in touch with us using the contact information to the right of this page.<\/p>\n
