Supporting the mental health of vulnerable students is a shared responsibility that requires effective collaboration between educators, carers, and social workers. When these professionals work together, they can create a more stable and supportive environment for children and young people facing challenges such as trauma, instability, and transitions in care. This masterclass is designed to strengthen multi-agency partnerships, providing practical tools to enhance communication, align support strategies, and ensure a joined-up approach that prioritises student well-being and resilience.
