About the importance of friends, relationships with teachers and their participation in the learning environment?

Thank you for this article. Although there is nothing new in it for those who understand the importance of providing a safe and supportive environment for our children, it is a reminder to all school staff of what our responsibilities are as educators of the 'whole child'. I will be distributing it to my cluster of Student Wellbeing Co-ordinators and talking to it at our staff meeting next week.
