MindMate Friendly and MindMate Champions

What is the MindMate Champion programme?

MindMate Champions is the third phase of the programme, in which you conduct an evidence-based intervention and demonstrate its impact.

The third stage, following a successful external MindMate Friendly status validation visit,  is achieving MindMate Champion Status, which is an enhancement model. Schools/settings which have self- validated as a MindMate friendly, can then engage with the MindMate  Champion stage.

The Champion programme supports schools and settings to develop their wider thinking and planning in order to continue to achieve improved outcomes across one aspect of their SEMH provision or practice. Using pupil perception data from the My Health, My School Survey, or other school surveys, schools/settings will identify at least one specific SEMH area to improve on. They will implement an action plan outlining their focus, which includes qualitative and/or quantitative data to measure impact on either targeted or universal provision. Assessment of outcomes will be shared through a case study, describing outcomes and impact.

A key part of the case study is capturing baseline and follow-up data to demonstrate the difference made, and the My Health, My School Survey is a great tool to help you generate and analyse this information. Support with completing the case study is available from your Healthy Schools consultant.
