What is the WSAEMWB Framework?

Purpose: To address the emotional and mental well-being needs of all learners and school staff, as part of the whole-school community.  

Background: Welsh Government published the WSAEMWB Framework in April 2021 for all Local Authority maintained schools to adhere to.  

The WSAEMWB Framework requires the whole school community to self-evaluate the culture of their own emotional and mental well-being and to develop action plans building on strengths within their unique contexts. It encourages the creation of a school well-being ethos based on three values:  

  • Belonging  
  • Efficacy 
  • Voice 

It also requires schools to work alongside others and recognise when to seek help when there are emotional and mental well-being needs are identified.
