<p>We have no plans to make changes to the national curriculum, but our Supporting
Mental Health in Schools and Colleges survey, published in August 2017, sets out information
on what schools are already doing to promote good mental health and well-being through
teaching and pastoral support.</p><p>We are considering how we can build on this strong
base to improve the support that is provided to children and young people in schools
and will include proposals in the Children and Young People’s Mental Health Green
Paper to be published by the end of this year.</p><p>In particular, as required by
the Children and Social Work Act 2017, we are taking work forward to develop regulations
and associate guidance for mandatory Relationships Education in primary schools and
Relationships and Sex Education in secondary schools. The content of the guidance
will include the role of physical and mental well-being in forming and maintaining
healthy relationships. We plan to consult on a draft of the regulations and guidance
next year.</p>
