GIRFEC: The Five Well-being Questions GIRFEC requires that at all stages of supporting our pupils, teachers are asked to keep the following five questions uppermost in their minds: 1. What is getting in the way of this young person’s wellbeing? 2. Do I have all the information I need to help this young person? 3. What can I do now to help this young person? 4. What can the school do to help this young person? 5 What additional help, if any, may be needed from others?
