Understand how to work with children and young people to support their well-being

Task 6 links to learning outcome 5 (AC 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4)
Read the scenario before attempting the task.
You are a member of the support team at a large community college and in your spare time you undertake voluntary work for a local charity which supports positive mental health and well-being in young people.
Recently you became concerned about the rising numbers of children and young people with poor mental health and bought this to the attention of senior staff.
The college has now planned a mental health awareness week to coincide with national promotions and the local radio has approached you to record an interview about supporting children and young people’s well-being.

• Develop a script for the radio broadcast which:
  5.3 identifies the signs of possible mental health concerns in children and young people
  5.2 describes the role of support staff in recognising the signs of mental health concerns in children and young people
  5.1 describes three (3) ways support staff can work with children and young people to build self-confidence and self-esteem
  5.4 explains the need to work with children and young people to enable them to develop emotional resilience and mental well-being.
