Mental Health Champion warns new school curriculum could harm pupil wellbeing and seeks independent review TransformED NI outlines a strategy for the transformation of teaching and learning Northern Ireland’s Mental Health Champion has written a critical response to a consultation on school curriculum reform, saying it is “unclear how key stakeholders, particularly children and young people, were involved in developing the content”. It notes particular concerns arise relating to the Personal, Social, Civic and Careers (PSCC) subject, where “significant changes were made without the agreement of the expert team responsible for drafting the subject”. The correspondence adds: “The Office of the Mental Health Champion provided feedback on an earlier draft version of the PSCC framework, and it is now evident that many positive elements of the agreed final version were removed from the version that was put out for consultation. “We need clarity on how, and why, these modifications were undertaken.”
