Emotional Health and Wellbeing - Nurturing Approaches

Emotional Health and Wellbeing -> Emotional Health and Wellbeing - Nurturing Approaches

The development and implementation of universal early intervention and preventative school-based supports and training is facilitated by the Nurture Advisory & Support Service (NASS) through the delivery of the Nurture in Education Programme (NEP).

The NEP is a progressive, trauma informed, strengths-based model of school capacity building that focuses on developing an awareness of nurturing approaches and Trauma Informed Practice (TIP). The NEP enables schools to establish a culture and ethos of wellbeing for all, whilst implementing more targeted interventions for pupils experiencing a range of social, behaviour, emotional and wellbeing (SBEW) needs.

The programme promotes the key principles of attachment, consistency, resilience and trauma informed practice at a whole school level by utilising the six principles of nurture to enable children who attend school, in challenging circumstances, to begin to have more consistency and stability in their lives.

Whole school and bespoke professional development opportunities are available in areas such as early intervention and preventative practice.
