Chiltern Wood School Children and Young People’s Wellbeing Charter

This charter has been drawn up with the following principles in mind:

• Take care of yourself
• Take care of others
• Take care of this school

Everyone within the school community has a responsibility to consider the impact s/he makes on themselves, others, and the school environment, through the decisions they make.

• Be safe in their school environment
• Be kept safe from potential causes of physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse
• Have their special needs well understood by adults working with them
• Be given a voice in which ever form of communication is most useful to them, and to then be listened to and responded to
• Be happy, learn and have fun within the school day
• Be listened and responded to

Pupils are encouraged to …

• Be as proactive as possible in looking after their own wellbeing
• Make good choices to support their wellbeing, with the support of those around them
• Develop self-confidence
• Accept routines and activities that promote their wellbeing, and develop independence within this where appropriate
