A Healthy School is an inclusiveoneproviding a safe environment for all LGBT C+YP; to develop to their full potential (just like anyone else!)
A Healthy School must have an anti-bullying policy-formulated and reviewed by the whole school community.Any form of bullying is taken seriously
Healthy Schools are supported in their work to combat bullying through links with partner organisations including those from the voluntary sector Includes those able to support LGBT
An enhanced Healthy School is a school that has met the 41 criteria, has plans in place to meet the Ofsted pupil wellbeing indicators and then has an outcome based model of universal and targeted interventions focussed on those most at risk and linked to school, local and national priorities
"The Healthy Schools Programme is 10 years old this year. And it is today more relevant and more central to our agenda than ever before, because it’s about the long-term health of the country. "There are countless examples of creativity and innovation from schools in supporting the health and wellbeing of their pupils – and I have every confidence that Healthy Schools will continue to provide vital support to schools as we move forwards, building towards our ambition for the 21st Century School.“ Rt honourable Ed Balls
