Pupils facing social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) challenges can be withdrawn and isolated, suffering in silence, others display hugely challenging and disruptive behaviour that significantly affects those around them. All are in desperate need of nurture - a different approach to learning that prioritises relationships and wellbeing. Research has shown that a nurturing approach to education works for all pupils, helping every child to learn. Nurture gets to the heart of a child’s challenges and supports children and young people to build connections and resilience. It is a highly effective way of supporting improved behaviour and increased attendance in schools, leading to better attainment and reduced exclusions. nurtureuk is the national charity dedicated to using nurturing approaches to improve children and young people’s life chances. We give education professionals the proven tools, training and support they need to implement nurture in schools and remove barriers to learning. We also work with policy makers to make nurture a cornerstone of education in the UK.
