Health & Wellbeing

The health and wellbeing of all young people is the responsibility of all staff. Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) is our commitment to provide all young people and their families with the right support at the right time. This is so that every young person can reach their full potential. We want all young people to live in an equal society that enables them to flourish, to be treated with kindness, dignity and respect, and to have their rights upheld at all times.

The health and wellbeing of all young people is the responsibility of all staff and although Home Economics, PSE and PE lend themselves particularly well to HWB there are links throughout all other subjects too.

Good mental and physical health is central to effective learning and will prepare young people for their future journeys both during and after their school career.

Teachers and support staff will monitor young people throughout their time at West Calder High School and any wellbeing concerns will be reported to Heads of House.

A discussion will then take place with the young person with action taken as required.

In addition to our Heads of House we also support our young people in many other ways, including the following:
