- Supporting students to identify their strengths and reflect on career choices; contributing to "impartial careers guidance" and preparing them for "the next step of their education, employment, self-employment or training".
- Reflecting on the damage that bullying can cause and give fresh perspectives that empower students to take ownership in similar challenging situations.
- Actively promoting an "open culture" through honest stories.
- Providing information and resources to help students "make informed choices about... their emotional and mental well-being".
- Sharing personal stories to highlight the challenges of relationships and explore what constitutes a healthy relationship.
