Background
How does SEAL contribute to PSHE?
SEAL can make a very helpful contribution to schools’ planning and delivery of their PSHE programme because the development of social and emotional skills is a key component of PSHE. SEAL does not, however, cover the whole of PSHE.
SEAL provides a framework and some ideas for teaching social and emotional skills that are important in PSHE, within discrete lessons, across subjects and outside the classroom. SEAL emphasises that if pupils are to learn social and emotional skills they need to be promoted at all times and learned, reinforced and consolidated across school subjects and across the school day. While SEAL provides a framework that supports PSHE, PSHE provides an invaluable contribution to learning the social and emotional skills that are identified in SEAL.
