One Trusted Champion
At Calderwood Health and Wellbeing is at the heart of our school. We strive to build positive relationships and create a nurturing environment for all pupils to have the best opportunities to learn.
As part of our transition Into Calderwood, over the next two weeks we will be introducing our Trusted Champion Approach.
A Trusted Champion is an adult at school chosen by your child. Someone your child feels they can talk to about anything, supports them, listens to them and has their best interests at heart.
Your child will have the opportunity to book an appointment with their Trusted Champion whenever they need it.
The Wellbeing Indicators
Every child or young person should feel safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible and included.
These eight indicators help make sure everyone – children, parents, and the people who work with them have a common understanding of wellbeing.
The eight wellbeing indicators connect and overlap. When considered together the different elements of wellbeing give the whole picture of a child’s or young person’s life at a particular point in time.
A child’s or young person’s wellbeing is influenced by everything around them. It is up to all of us as parents, teachers and other agencies to work together to promote, support and safeguard the wellbeing of all of our children and young people. Children and young people have different experiences and needs at different times in their lives. Understanding how this affects their wellbeing, and providing the right support when they need it, helps them grow and develop and reach their full potential.
Our children will therefore use these indicators at school to self-report on how their wellbeing throughout the year through our ‘Wellbeing Check In’s’. Follow up Trusted Champion Conversations and support will be offered for those who need it.
