Our software gives SLT, SENDCOs, Mental Health and Pastoral Leads a best-in-class toolkit to support student mental health and wellbeing. Research-backed screeners gather data directly from students, so you can target provision, plan with purpose and meet your duties under KCSIE and the SEND Code of Practice with confidence.
Use screeners to identify gaps and needs that can be easily shared with your local Mental Health Support Team , CAMHS teams or external clinicians to support joined-up consistent care.
WHO‑5 Wellbeing Screener
A fast, reliable way to check in on how students are really doing. With just five questions, it helps schools monitor general wellbeing across year groups and pick up early signs that a pupil may be struggling. Developed by the World Health Organisation and used widely in NHS settings.
- Ideal for whole-school wellbeing check-ins, in line with the DfE and PHE whole-school approach
- Quick for students to complete, simple for staff to monitor
- Highlights students who may benefit from further conversation or support
Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA) Screener
Helps schools uncover the underlying reasons behind persistent absence. EBSA identifies the barriers to attendance at school. With both student and parent or carer versions, the screener supports joint planning and a fuller picture for the attendance team, SENDCo and pastoral team.
- Surfaces the hidden causes of school avoidance that attendance data alone will not show
- Enables joint planning through paired student and parent or carer versions
- Aligns with the statutory Working together to improve school attendance guidance (DfE 2024), strengthening your attendance strategy with real understanding of why
GAD-7 Anxiety Screener
Identifies the presence and severity of anxiety symptoms such as worry, restlessness and fear. GAD-7 is recommended by NICE for anxiety assessment and is widely used across Mental Health Support Teams and CAMHS. In schools it supports targeted, proportionate interventions for students who may be struggling beneath the surface.
- Helps identify the severity of anxiety, not only its presence
- Supports targeted, early intervention as part of a graduated response
- Useful for follow-up after an initial concern is raised with easy tracking over time
Data, consent and safeguarding
Screeners run on EU-hosted infrastructure with full UK GDPR alignment. Schools control parental consent settings, student right-to-withdraw, and access permissions by role. Results integrate into your existing pastoral, SEND and safeguarding procedures, so screening evidence supports rather than duplicates your statutory documentation.
