With pupil wellbeing and belonging under real pressure in UK schools, simple tools that help build positive relationships are more valuable than ever. Recent DfE data highlights ongoing concerns around pupils’ sense of safety, enjoyment and belonging at school, and also reveal that many children continue to face online harm and bullying, reinforcing the need for proactive, school‑led support for kindness and inclusion.
