NAPCE recently organised a face-to-face symposium provocatively entitled ‘Who cares about pastoral care?’ The sold out event, held in Belfast on 21 June, brought together around a hundred educational practitioners (teachers, school leaders, support professionals and more) from a range of settings in Northern Ireland to identify the current pastoral challenges facing schools as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic and enter a period of significant budget cuts. The symposium featured contributions from Koulla Yiasouma, the outgoing Children’s Commissioner for Northern Ireland, and pastoral leaders from three local schools, each of which had won recent awards for their pastoral care. The symposium featured presentations on the outstanding practice in each of the award-winning schools (focusing on nurture, dealing with school-based bereavement, and pastoral care within a multi-cultural setting) as well as informal networking and sharing of experiences and ideas. The UK chair of NAPCE, Phil Jones, travelled to Belfast and commended the work of pastoral leaders in Northern Ireland for their dedication and commitment. The key message from the symposium was that educational practitioners do care about pastoral care in education; indeed, they care passionately about the children and young people in their schools and other education settings, despite significant challenges exacerbated by the enduring impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and recent funding cuts which have ‘paused’ the funding of many programmes, including the Healthy Happy Minds primary counselling pilot programme. A rapid response to the education cuts in Northern Ireland was launched on 27 June (Fitzpatrick et al., 2023) and highlights the breadth and depth of these cuts which have particularly exposed enduring social and educational inequalities, with our most disadvantaged children and young people (as ever) disproportionately impacted. In her keynote address, Koualla Yiasouma stressed that education needs pastoral care to succeed and that, now more than ever before, we need whole school and whole community approaches to promoting children’s wellbeing. In this third issue of the year, we have assembled a characteristically diverse range of articles. The first two articles both focus on the importance of relationships education. In the first of these, Simon Benham-Clarke, Georgina Roberts, Astrid Janssens and Tamsin Newlove-Delgado report on a systemic review of the outcome domains and outcome measures of healthy relationship education programmes for young people.

Whole-school programmes are considered an effective way of developing provision in schools; however, poor implementation can limit the impact of such programmes, and there is a lack of clarity about the key factors affecting the implementation of whole-school approaches. This small-scale study explored the implementation of a whole-school mental health and wellbeing programme, called Emotionally Friendly Settings (EFS). It aimed to consider the factors that facilitate and also act as a barrier to the effective implementation of whole-school wellbeing programmes. Individual semi-structured interviews were carried out with one member of staff in five settings: three primary schools, one secondary school, and one specialist setting. The sample included schools which reported the programme to have low impact, medium impact and high impact. Thematic analysis identified themes and sub-themes. Authentic versus tokenistic implementation was highlighted as a key factor influencing the impact of EFS. Linked to this were leadership; attitude to the programme; engagement; support; and programme characteristics. Findings are discussed in relation to existing implementation research, and implications for practice and areas for further research are highlighted together with the limitations of this study.KEYWORDS: whole-school programmemental healthwellbeingimplementation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Geolocation informationKeywords have been selected which are relevant to the article and to searches undertaken within this study.

The importance of focusing on care has been further accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Each source was searched systematically and following application of inclusion criteria, 616 documents were included in the sample, legislation (n = 39), policies (n = 49), active circulars (n = 179), archived circulars (n = 249) and curriculum specifications (n = 100). Thirteen per cent of the documents included in the review reflected some discussion of care. Thematic analysis of these documents identified that ‘care’ tended to be understood and reflected in five main interrelated ways: (1) care for the individual child and the related duty of care schools/teachers have for children; (2) supporting students to care for themselves and for others; (3) care presented in terms of ‘pastoral care’ or intertwined with ‘well-being’; (4) care presented from the perspective of care for the environment and finally; and (5) care presented from a structural perspective regarding care supports within the school. Some considerations and challenges are presented in terms of supporting schools to navigate these different and at times diverging policy, legislative and curriculum contexts with regards conditions for implementation of care in education.","PeriodicalId":45422,"journal":{"name":"Pastoral Care in Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135693140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the UK, primary school teachers and schools are well-placed to spot and support pupil mental health. This preliminary research completed during the first part of the COVID-19 pandemic, addresses a gap in the literature to understand whether primary school teachers feel they have personal and professional resources to manage and support pupil mental health. Six recently qualified primary school teachers took part in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis of these data generated three themes (a) The impact of school on pupil mental health (b) Where does the expertise lie? and (c) School approaches to mental health. The themes show that teachers varied in how prepared they felt to support pupil mental health and this was related to a degree to the way in which their school approached mental health support. Our participants felt well-placed to support pupils' mental health but also concerned about their ability to do so. These findings and the suggestions for change from our participants have clear implications for how teachers can be better enabled to support pupil mental health during and beyond COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":45422,"journal":{"name":"Pastoral Care in Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84656422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TA in adolescents is associated with mental and behavioral comorbidities and may have adverse effects on students' academic performance as well as their physiological and psychological well-being. Therefore, this study examines the impact of family communication and body image dissatisfaction on adolescents' test anxiety in Greece. According to the results of the Structural Equation Model that was examined, family communication presented a minimal negative effect on students' TA. However, the main finding of this study was that body image dissatisfaction had an important direct and minimal indirect effect on students' TA. The indirect effect was via the physical activity hours that acted as a mediator between body image dissatisfaction and TA. As a result, examining body image concerns and enhancing family communication may be crucial in assisting adolescents at risk for severe TA symptoms.

Carter","doi":"10.1080/02643944.2023.2216433","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/02643944.2023.2216433","url":null,"abstract":"Welcome to Issue 2 of Volume 41 of Pastoral Care in Education. At the time of writing, it is just a few days after the Coronation of King Charles III in London. Many people were lining the streets to enjoy the occasion or participating in street parties across the UK and further afield, connecting again with their community after Covid-19. Others felt less inclined to celebrate during a period of post-Covid recovery, a cost-of-living crisis, mass strike action and climate change concerns. The current context did raise the question: What do young people want on Coronation Day? McDowell (2023) found that suggestions included wanting teachers to be paid fairly, schools to be adequately funded and the climate crisis to be taken seriously. Supporting the pastoral care of children and young people needs both the opportunity for developing a sense of belonging within their community and addressing their contemporary concerns. The articles in this edition certainly cover community and contemporary issues, including developing ‘societal resilience’ during COVID-19 recovery, refugee experiences, behaviour and the impact on achievement, friendship, test anxiety and mental health awareness. In the opening article of this issue, Penny Fogg explores the lessons that can be learnt from experiencing a national emergency like the pandemic. Her article draws upon a problem-analysis model, ‘Interactive Factors Framework’, applied to the experience of six primary school headteachers across systemic levels. The article outlines the care and education of children and young people at a local level during this period and identifies new knowledge for consideration with future pandemics or disasters. Concluding recommendations include suggestions for short and long-term recovery plans for societal resilience. This is followed by Lisa H. Papatraianou and Al Strangeways’ article that addresses an important and under-researched theme: understanding diverse refugee girls’ resilience when transitioning between home and school cultures. The study draws upon a ‘human resilience’ framework aiming to listen to the voices of refugee students. Arts based methods were used to encourage participation, agency and to hear the diversity of student experience. The findings challenge normative/Western constructs of resilience, examine the impact of resilience on a positive transition experience and address the challenges of moving across home and school cultures. The study recommends the importance of professional learning for teachers and whole school approaches for the future.
