To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S5W-21823 by Clare Haughey on 6 March 2019, whether it plans to produce a tailored mental health training package specifically for school staff and, if so, when it will do so.
Answer
The Scottish Government is committed to strengthening the resources available to all school staff to support the mental health and wellbeing of our children, young people and our teaching workforce.
In addition to the commitments contained in the 2018 Programme for Government, we are developing a comprehensive suite of mental health resources which will equip all school staff to support children and young people. This will enhance the strategies already available to schools and will be published by the end of 2020.
The recent pay agreement for teachers also commits the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers to addressing issues relating to teachers’ health and wellbeing. Our work with teachers and teacher organisations will continue to identify where there is action that we can take to improve the daily lives of teachers.
