Abstract

Through the analysis of several Irish policies, from health and education sectors and national curricular frameworks related to all educational levels, including early childhood education and care (ECEC), it is evident that Ireland recognizes the relevance of addressing socioemotional wellbeing of children and adolescents. Educational settings are acknowledged in Ireland as pivotal contexts to accomplish this goal. Beyond policy and curricular frameworks with a significant SEL component, a number of evidence-based intervention programmes were also identified as a relevant approach in Ireland to support children’s socioemotional well-being.
