However, we know that students talk to people they trust, so ensuring that everyone working in a school is equipped to respond in line with best practices is essential. We can do that by adopting ARACY’s The Common Approach®.

The Common Approach® is a prevention-focused and flexible way of working to help anyone have quality conversations with young people and their families about all aspects of their wellbeing. ‘Wellbeing’ within the Common Approach is framed by The Nest meaning it covers the six areas of being Valued, Loved and Safe, Healthy, Participating, Positive Sense of Identity and Culture, Material Basics, and Learning.
