This guidance complements existing national initiatives to promote social and emotional wellbeing. It should be considered in the context of the Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) programme (Department for Education and Skills 2005a; 2005b), the Healthy Schools programme (Department for Education and Skills 2005c) and related community-based initiatives. These all stress the importance of enabling children to participate fully in the development of such programmes to ensure their views are heard. .
