The key purpose of a consultancy visit is to support your school in developing a whole school approach for mental health and emotional wellbeing for students and staff. As part of this, visits will also pay special focus on supporting children with emotional and mental health difficulties. If schools or organisations are interested in applying for the Trauma Informed Schools & Organisations Award this can be discussed. The visit is not an inspection, it is an opportunity for the school to show case the excellent practice it has in place and to identify areas for future development. Working with an experienced educational consultant you will have the opportunity to reflect on the next steps in your setting's development to ensure that all children and young people are supported to be mentally well and to live life well.  

At the end of the visit the setting will receive an independent report to celebrate success as well as identify areas to further develop. It will also consider the progress towards the Trauma and Mental Health-Informed Schools & Organisations award and, if required, a recommendation as to anything they need to do further to satisfy the criteria.
