This guidance aims to help school leaders and their staff, in all phases of education, support children and young people with their mental health and well-being in light of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, by outlining some universal approaches for all pupils and for with those with low-level mental health needs. We recognise there will be groups of children and young people for whom the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has created more serious evels of concern. These pupils need additional support and they will likely need more specialist help from health or social care services.
