What is the guidance and who is it for?
This short guidance booklet is the essential starting point for SEAL and has three main
purposes:
• to provide a clear overview of the key aims, principles and essential component parts
of Secondary SEAL, and its potential to enhance learning and personal development;
• to signpost colleagues to the richness of the wide range of DfES resources that have
been produced as part of Secondary SEAL. These are listed in the box at the end of each
subsection with a reference number to allow easy access on the website or CD-ROM;
• to act as a quick reference document.
The guidance booklet is written for all those who are involved with, or who have an interest in,
Secondary SEAL, and will be essential reading for all school leaders, including those leading
on the programme. It might also be used by those from children’s services and other external
agencies who are involved in supporting work in school.
The guidance booklet is organised under a series of key questions that are organised in five
sections:
• Section 1 provides an introduction to the concepts underpinning SEAL;
• Section 2 describes the impact on educational outcomes and the links to key developments
in education;
• Section 3 is about the practicalities of implementing SEAL in school;
• Section 4 focuses on professional development;
• Section 5 focuses on learning and teaching.
At the end of each subsection there is a list of further readings, case studies and staff
development activities.

This national document offers guidance and professional development for implementing SEAL in early years' settings, including nurseries, primary provisions with nursery classes, childminders, playgroups etc.
