make informed choices and live a healthy, fulfilled life. Developing Responsible Citizens Children need to learn to respect and value other people and to develop an understanding of their beliefs and feelings. This will help them to develop positive relationships, promote equality and fairness and counter discrimination. Developing children’s awareness of healthy diet, activity, positive relationships and risks to health lays important foundations for their future life, including parenting. From an early age, children can develop an understanding of how their actions and decisions are affected by and affect others, recognising how important it is to behave in ways that can have a positive effect on other people and the environment. Developing Effective Contributors Through learning in health and wellbeing, children can have opportunities to engage positively in experiences that are fun, enjoyable, exciting and challenging in a variety of settings including the outdoors. They can make positive contributions to the wider life and health of the school and community through involvement in activities such as running the healthy tuck shop, helping younger children through buddying, or organising fundraising activities through the Parliament. Very importantly, young people should be equipped to explore different options for life beyond school and be supported so that they can make successful transitions in future years. Learning and Teaching Effective learning and teaching in health and wellbeing: engages children and young people and takes account of their views and experiences, particularly where decisions are to be made that may impact on life choices; uses a variety of approaches including active, cooperative and peer learning and effective use of technology; encourages new challenges in the outdoor environment; encourages children and young people to act as positive role models for others within the educational community; to a lasting commitment in children and young people to follow a healthy lifestyle by participation in experiences which are varied, relevant, realistic and enjoyable; takes account of research and successful practice in supporting the learning and development of children and young people, particularly in sensitive areas such as substance misuse; helps to foster health in families and communities through work with a range of professions, parents and carers, and children and young people, and enables them to understand the responsibilities of citizenship; and harnesses the experience and expertise of different professions to make specialist contributions, including developing enterprise and employability skills.
