Measuring Impact of Wellbeing Resources

Understanding the emotional wellbeing and mental health needs of children is at the core of the Hamish & Milo programme and we provide the tools to help you identify the presenting behaviours to help you better understand the children’s underlying needs.

Providing qualitative intervention, as part of a graduated response, is essential to enable children to engage in learning and thrive. Having impact measures in place is vital so that progress can be measured and reviewed through EHCP, SEND and PEP reviews to inform future planning and signposting, but primarily so that there is evidence of improved outcomes for children.

Capturing effective data in line with Ofsted and ISI inspection frameworks for personal development, behaviour and welfare is important too due to strong links between pupil wellbeing and positive educational outcomes. Using consistent impact measurement tools ensures an evaluative system that shows an indication of effectiveness, signposts for further enhanced support and demonstrates improved outcomes for children.

Navigator Impact Reporting Dashboard

Navigator is an innovative platform to assess social and emotional learning in schools and demonstrate each child’s journey. Share insights, progress, shifts and changes that occur through being part of the SEMH intervention programmes.

  • Identification and assessment – via Child Wellbeing Profiles, SDQs, and Child’s Voice

  • Gain vital insight and reporting – assess SEL and support SEND and inclusion strategies

  • Visual, dynamic analytics – interactive graphs and charts make it easier to digest and interpret insights

  • GDPR compliant and secure – no child names are used just child codes

Child Wellbeing Profiles

Our primary impact measure tool is our Child Wellbeing Profiles which provide a descriptive impact framework of underlying needs and presenting behaviours, giving you a shared language and understanding of the mental health needs of individual children.

Our child wellbeing profiles are unique to each emotional theme pack and are used pre-and post-intervention to enable you to identify the best intervention, allocate resources and measure change and impact over time.

  • Six child wellbeing profiles are included within every single emotion theme pack and you can also order extras online in our shop.

  • You can also download each PDF free once you are a customer from our Hub and use the digital versions to save and store information.

Childs Voice Questionnaire

Children need to know that it is safe and that it is important for them to express their view. Capturing the child’s voice is an important part of measuring the outcome of the Hamish & Milo wellbeing programmes.

The ‘child voice questionnaire’ shows the experience from the child’s perspective. Much of this is listened to throughout the group experience but the new questionnaire is a resource to support in highlighting children’s experience.

Individual Child Profile Record

Our Individual Child Profile Records are a way of recording detailed information about each child; the context, background and ongoing observations. They link directly to the wellbeing profiles that highlight presenting behaviours and can be used as a record for intervention, ongoing support, development of EHCPs or individual support plans or for signposting where children may need involvement from additional services.

You can download, save and type straight into the PDF to save digitally, or buy them in our online shop in batches if you prefer to write on paper!

Champion Planning Journals

Our Champion Planning Journals are unique to each emotional theme pack and provide a framework to keep notes, observations and reflections about the sessions and about the children in the group for easy reference. available in print or digital format, they include:

  • 10-session planner – notes space for each weeks session including ‘Observations and comments’ about each session, ‘What went well’, ‘Points for development’ and ‘Considerations for next session’
  • How do you feel – emoji star rating for each session and how you feel
  • Progress record – individual child progress comments
