	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>Schools will be required to teach mental health as part of the Department’s plans to make health education compulsory. The Government is currently seeking views on the draft guidance and regulations, which will support the new subjects of relationships education in primary, relationships and sex education in secondary, and health education in all schools. The consultation includes questions on what support schools will need to deliver high-quality teaching. The consultation closed on the 7 November. <a href="https://consult.education.gov.uk/pshe/relationships-education-rse-health-education/" target="_blank">https://consult.education.gov.uk/pshe/relationships-education-rse-health-education/</a>.</p><p>The draft statutory guidance sets out core content that schools will teach. The draft mental health content includes teaching pupils how to recognise and talk about their emotions, how to judge when they or someone they know needs support and prevention, including the benefits of physical exercise.</p><p>Schools will decide what further advice to provide to their pupils. To support schools, the Government will fund the training of a Designated Senior Lead for mental health in every school, to put in place a whole school approach to mental health and well-being. This can cover activities as part of pastoral support and advice for individual pupils with specific needs.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/11/2018 13:11:00 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
