On 19th September 2024, the Ministers for the Department of Health and Wellbeing met with other Forward as One Pupil Advisory Board members via Zoom for a meeting. The meeting was led by Mr Brown. The children discussed what they understand the words Health (being free from illness, being fit and healthy and active) and wellbeing (having good mental health) to mean.
Mr Brown informed the group that they would be learning more about Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which states that children have the right to the best possible healthcare. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay healthy.

The children shared this right (Article 24) with the school during an assembly and completed a questionnaire to find out the pupils' thoughts on how this right is met at All Saints'. The pupils were also invited to create posters or presentations sharing how they believe that staff at All Saints' meet this right for the children.
The link teacher for the Department of Health of Wellbeing is Mrs Huddy.
