Friends/ social situations (MSI)

Establish friendship clubs to promote inclusivity and a sense of belonging. This helps build strong peer relationships, which are vital for the learner’s self-esteem and confidence both in and out of school.

Encourage the development of strong friendship groups within class and through after-school clubs. This fosters social connection and emotional wellbeing, helping the learner feel supported and valued by their peers.

Use the wellbeing wheel or curriculum to help the learner identify personal focus areas for now and next. This promotes self-awareness and empowers the learner to take an active role in their emotional development.

Create structured opportunities for peer-to-peer interaction. This supports communication skills, builds social confidence, and encourages collaborative learning experiences.
