Schools Health & Wellbeing Service

The Schools Health and Wellbeing Service (SHWS) is underpinned by the belief that ALL children & young people have a right to be healthy and that healthier children are more likely to achieve at school and in life.

Specifically, the service exists to support and encourage school development within the area of health and wellbeing. In particular, the SHWS provides opportunities for affiliated schools to develop and enhance their existing level of health & wellbeing provision via engagement with a range of tools and support opportunities available through this service level agreement (SLA) and an optional Health & Wellbeing 'EXTRA' package.
