star this property answer text <p> </p><p>Schools have a duty to promote pupils' mental and physical development and are held to account by Ofsted for doing so. The new 0-25 Special Educational Needs and Disability code of practice, which was put before Parliament on 11th June 2014, makes it clear that schools should look to identify any underlying mental health needs that pupils have. To support this on the 16 June the Department for Education issued new information and advice for schools and teachers on pupils' mental health and behaviour. This advice helps school staff identify those pupils who may have emerging problems and provides guidance on appropriate routes of ensuring specialist support where necessary.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The curriculum gives schools the freedom to address any specific pastoral issues that pupils may have, and teachers can raise awareness of mental health issues in PSHE lessons. Additionally, many schools provide targeted assessment and support. A survey conducted by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2012 estimated between 60-85% of English secondary schools provide access to counselling, delivering up to 70,000 sessions a year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>School nurses are in an ideal position to promote and maintain the health of children and young people. On 31 March the Department of Health and Public Health England published the Promoting emotional wellbeing and positive mental health of children and young people pathway. This provides a structured framework for school nurses, clarifying roles and responsibilities and giving information to enhance partnership working across agencies to support the emotional health of children and young people and to ensure early support is offered.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Lord Young in his report “Enterprise for All” has proposed a number of measures to help schools and colleges embed enterprise in their teaching to help young people develop a career and vocational skills. The Government expects to announce its response in the autumn. This will include the development of Enterprise Advisers to enable school headteachers to strengthen their focus on enterprise and engagement with the world of business and work.</p><p> </p><p>These measures will also apply to university technical colleges, which provide high-quality technical education for those young people that choose to follow a more practically orientated education. Employers play a key role in shaping the curriculum to ensure that students learn practical and relevant skills for industry.</p><p> </p><p>We are linking the whole education system more closely to the world of work. We have introduced Technical Awards for 14-16-year-olds. These qualifications, equivalent to GCSEs, are developed in partnership with employers and will give students the opportunity to develop real-life practical skills.</p><p> </p><p>We have also introduced Tech Levels for 16-19-year-old students who want to learn technical skills as an alternative to, or alongside, A levels. The 227 Tech Levels taught from September 2014 are all endorsed by employers, trade or professional bodies, and cover most practical career paths. From September 2016, all Tech Level courses will also involve employers in the delivery and/or assessment of the qualification. We have changed the way providers are funded for 16-19 year olds so that work experience is funded on the same basis as qualifications. This gives education providers the freedom and flexibility needed to expand their work experience provision.</p>
