Wellbeing Policy Statement and Framework for Practice (2019)

This policy statement provides an overarching structure encompassing existing, ongoing and developing work in the education system in Ireland. The vision and ambition of the Department of Education and Skills in relation to Wellbeing Promotion sets out to ensure that by 2023:

• The promotion of wellbeing will be at the core of the ethos of every school and centre for education,

• All schools and centres for education will provide evidence-informed approaches and support, appropriate to need, to promote the wellbeing of all their children and young people,

• Ireland will be recognised as a leader in this area
