Wellbeing for Learning

The Wellbeing for Learning Workstream recognises the importance of wellbeing in the learning process and aims to empower practitioners to provide the best possible environment for learners.

It aims to:

Increase understanding of current legislation and policy
Facilitate dialogue and collaborative learning networks through professional learning and specialist networks
Share good practice across the West Partnership to enhance support for learners
Support learners to share their views
Provide opportunities for establishment-based and community education colleagues to work and learn together to support wellbeing and inclusive practices which will improve outcomes for learners
Bring professionals together to provide support and learning opportunities for families
Liaise with partner agencies, including Education Scotland, to support collaborative working.

Outcomes:

By June 22, participants in WP Family Learning activities demonstrate an increased knowledge & understanding of a range of ways to work with families and increased confidence in applying this in their establishments.
By June 22, participants will demonstrate an increased understanding of policy, research and legislation and will have increased confidence to apply the knowledge in their various settings.
Through engaging in specialist networks, there is an increase in the number of cross-authority collaborative activities being undertaken in the Partnership which aim to improve the wellbeing of children and young people by June 2022

We are working to achieve this through a wide variety of activities including:

ongoing professional learning activity with leaders of establishments on policy and practice
hosting learning events (virtual or in person as appropriate) to support practitioners to collaborate and share effective approaches
hosting and facilitating specialist networks to ensure practitioners are empowered to share evidence based and effective practice
creating online resources to support practice.
