Scope

Description

This procurement will be sourced via a three quote process.

The service will also offer a staff wellbeing programme for school leaders, including training and peer support sessions which enable staff to support their own emotional and mental wellbeing and that of colleagues, and to identify and support and respond to the emotional and mental wellbeing of students.

The service will support school and college staff in promoting the emotional and mental wellbeing of children and young people. Through training and support, staff gain confidence in managing emotional health issues, improving outcomes and reducing the need for specialist services.

The service will develop the Compassionate Schools Hub, an online resource which enables schools to develop a whole school approach to emotional health and wellbeing, to evaluate itself, and share good practice across Lancashire-12 with peers.

Please contact PublicMentalHealth@lancashire.gov.uk to register your interest in being part of the three quote process, if this is something your company can provide.
