BPS Briefing

By Policy Team

Drawing on evidence from psychologists who work with children, young people, families, schools and teachers, this briefing outlines how Ofsted inspections could better incorporate a holistic understanding of children's mental health in context.

It explains how to use that understanding to better assess and recognise good practice in schools that support the mental health and wellbeing of students and staff.
