Abstract | This study explored teachers' perceptions of pupils' social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs, and facilitating factors for provision following the Covid-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with UK secondary school teachers (n = 15). Thematic analysis (TA; Braun & Clarke 2013) was used to explore the data. Teachers recognised a deterioration in student SEMH, and reduced accessibility to targeted and whole-school SEMH provision due to newly implemented safety measures. Teachers felt a responsibility to identify needs (SEMH) but lacked the confidence, training and curriculum time to facilitate provision. Socio-economic barriers outside school left teachers feeling a lack of autonomy in managing SEMH. This highlights the need to improve training and funding if teachers are to assist effectively. |
