At ICC, we promote positive mental health and wellbeing for everyone in our school community. We are an inclusive school, which aims to support every member of our community, and recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing are to our lives. Our Curriculum supports this through relationship, sex and health education which is reviewed regularly and is responsive to the changing needs of our students. Where mental health and wellbeing needs are identified for anyone in the ICC community, our aim is to signpost access to universal and specialist support in line with our mental health and wellbeing policy.
