Wellbeing Teams and Action Teams

An Action Team is a group of committed individuals within an early learning service, school or school age care service who champion positive change and lead the implementation of the Be You.

Action Teams help to build momentum and enthusiasm, bringing people together to create meaningful and long-lasting change for everyone in your learning community.

Action Teams can vary in size and structure, what matters most is bringing together a diverse group of people who reflect your learning community and working in a way that fits your unique setting.

Each Action Team appoints an Action Team Leader (ATL) who works in partnership with a Be You Consultant. The Be You Consultant plays a key role in supporting the team throughout their implementation journey. 

An Action Team Leader (ATL) is a key leadership role within a Be You Action Team.

They help drive and motivate collective action, ensuring that all learning community members feel part of the Be You journey. 

The Action Team Leader, with the support of an Action Team, coordinates the team’s activities, keeps things on track, and acts as the main point of contact for Be You Consultants, who offer expert advice and support. They also have access to extra resources and tools through the Be You website.

Be You’s Action Team Handbooks are tailored to each education sector and provides an overview on implementing a whole learning community approach to mental health and wellbeing. Each handbook and the role of the Action Team and includes:

• An introduction to Be You and the Be You Implementation Cycle 
• Setting up your Action Team and the whole learning community approach 
• Sector-relevant guidance. 

Download the Action Team Handbook for your setting.

Once you have the support of your school or service leadership to establish an Action Team, and have nominated an Action Team Leader (ATL), you’re ready to register your learning community.

To do this, the ATL must first create an individual Be You account and assign themselves as the Action Team Leader on the Dashboard under 'My Learning Community.'

Once your learning community is registered and the ATL is confirmed, they will be able to:

• Access the Action Team Leader Dashboard
• Download and use planning and implementation tools 
• Track the progress of your Action Team
• Contact your dedicated Be You Consultant for support.
