WHY ?
Dudley Health Promoting Schools Service believe
that Emotional health and Well-Being underpins
all of our work in schools.
The central role that the emotions play in every
learning experience is one of the key findings of
recent research. Much learning, moreover takes
place within a social context. Before children
can begin to tackle the cognitive demands of any
task, they need to be able to address the social
and emotional components that accompany the
activity. (SEAL guidance)

HOW ? SEAL does cover most of the ECM aims what
it doesnt cover is specific topic-based content
from the PSHE and Citizenship Framework Good
practice in school PSHE and good practice in the
development of social and emotional aspects of

skills, with PSHE covering a range of topics or
