Sefton schools championing mental health sought for new award



The prestigious Educate Awards are returning for 2019 with a new category for mental health and wellbeing.


Founded by Kim O’Brien in 2012, the awards are the largest education awards in the North West and are an opportunity for schools to showcase their credentials across a number of categories.


The Mental Health & Wellbeing Award is open to both primary and secondary schools across the region and recognises schools that are effectively tackling mental health issues among pupils and staff.


The award will focus on the long-term culture of a school and those with an ethos where mental health is regarded as the responsibility of all.


According to recent figures, mental health problems affect 1 in 8 children and young people (NHS Digital). This new award hopes to shine a spotlight on the support schools have in place to promote good mental health and emotional wellbeing.


Entries must show provision and interventions available for pupils and staff, a commitment to promoting mental health as part of school life and can include views from parents, pupils and teachers.


This follows a pledge by the government to roll out mental health lessons to all schools from September 2020 as part of a redesigned national curriculum.


Kim O’Brien, founder of the Awards, says: “As children and young people continue to face many pressures, raising awareness of mental health and emotional wellbeing is so important.


“Schools play a vital role in this support and we are looking for strong examples of how schools are creating an environment where children can thrive with good mental health.


“The mental health of teachers and staff is just as important and entries can reflect various school initiatives which tackle mental health issues among pupils and staff.”


Alongside this new category, 20 others are returning for 2019, focused on everything from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths), arts, careers, sport to individual awards for school support stars and teachers.


Since launching in Liverpool in 2012, the awards has grown rapidly and now recognises schools and colleges right across the Liverpool City Region, Cheshire, Lancashire and Greater Manchester.


Kim adds: “We are delighted to launch the call for entries for 2019 and are looking forward to celebrating another year of outstanding education in the North West.”


Entries are now open and the deadline is midnight on Sunday 23rd June 2019. The shortlist will be announced prior to the awards ceremony and the winners will be revealed on 15th November at Liverpool Cathedral.
