Self validation
The process of self validation was introduced in autumn 2006 to minimise the bureaucracy for schools.
This means that schools now self certify within a quality assurance framework by completing:
The Whole School Review
This is a straight forward MS Word document that schools can use to summarise their foundation of health & wellbeing provision and to confirm that their healthy schools work has been sustained and developed since achieving National Healthy School Status .
The Whole School Review replaces the online annual review tool
It is suggested that you complete/ update the Whole School review at least every 2 years.

Completed Whole School Reviews can be confirmed and Quality Assured by Jane Roberts Health & Wellbeing Manager, Leicestershire County Council. jane.roberts@leics.gov.uk
The Planning Template Review
This is a MS Excel tool that schools can use to record and monitor their health and wellbeing improvement plans for their enhanced healthy schools work.
Completed Planning Templates can be sent for quality assurance (QA) to Jane Roberts: Health & Wellbeing Manager, Leicestershire County Council. Jane.roberts@leics.gov.uk
We suggest that the planning template is sent for QA when first completed before interventions and activities are implemented.

Healthy Schools Story Template
Having achieved one or more measurable health & wellbeing outcomes, you may want to share your success within the school community and beyond you can do this by completing the Healthy School Story Template.
Completed Healthy School Templates can be sent for quality assurance and confirmation to Jane.Roberts@leics.gov.uk

When achievements are confirmed your achievements will be recognised and a certificate will be sent to you.
