Course Overview
An in-depth reflective course designed for experienced leaders to refine and improve existing systems and processes. Beginning with culture and ethos, the course takes learners through the requirements for the role, ensuring monitoring and improvement cycles help to develop provision.
Starting with a module discussing the essence of the full role (as determined by the Department for Education), before moving onto an in-depth module on ethos and culture, this reflection on whole-setting aspirations forms the context of the rest of the course. The final part focuses on reflecting on available local mental health services for both staff and pupils, in addition to a module on building mental health and wellbeing into the curriculum.
Assessment
Once you have completed the course, you can download an attendance certificate. To become a qualified Advanced Mental Health Lead you must complete a portfolio. If you are completing the portfolio it is important that you set aside some time as there are a number of outcomes.
The portfolio needs to be submitted within 7 months of starting the course, which includes some self-study. This is designed to be completed as you go through the training, rather than at the end of the course.
