What’s included in the Hamish & Milo Primary Programme?

A comprehensive guide to the Hamish & Milo approach, theoretical framework, programme structure and practical delivery, including impact, safeguarding and the role of the trusted adult.

Clear, structured and practical session plans combining discussion, psychoeducation, creative activities and reflection. The complete Primary Programme includes 100 progressive sessions.

Identify a child’s social and emotional strengths and areas for development, helping practitioners build a clearer picture of individual need and consider which Hamish & Milo programme themes may provide the most appropriate targeted support.

Our key pre- and post-programme impact measure, with a profile specific to each emotional theme. Child Wellbeing Profiles help practitioners identify areas of need, measure individual progress and evidence impact, while informing future intervention, support and planning.

Programme-specific information that schools can share or email to parents and carers, explaining what their child will explore and providing practical, session-by-session ideas to continue conversations, strengthen shared understanding and support their child at home.

Capturing the child’s voice is an important part of measuring the outcome of the wellbeing programmes. Children need to know that it’s safe and that it’s important for them to express their views and the ‘Child’s Voice Questionnaire’ shows the experience from the child’s perspective.

Everything children need to create their own sock puppet pet. Integral to the Hamish & Milo approach, puppets provide a playful, creative yet powerful way for children to share their experiences, feel understood without judgement, and explore their emotions at a safe distance.

A special journal for every child to reflect on their thoughts, feelings and experiences throughout their programme journey. Positive affirmations, our star emoji feelings scale and motivational stickers help children build self-awareness, recognise achievements and feel proud of their progress.

Celebration and recognition are central to the Hamish & Milo approach. Every child receives a programme certificate to recognise their participation, progress and achievements, helping them celebrate what they have accomplished and feel proud of their Hamish & Milo journey.

Our wonderful ‘motivational message’ character stickers to encourage and celebrate the children as they progress through the programme. Across the range there are 40 different designs, including special metallic stickers, bringing colour, fun and positive recognition to sessions, journals and achievements.

All Champion schools can access our Resource Hub to find supporting resources in one place, from activity templates and practitioner handouts to planning tools, impact resources, posters, videos and more. Search and filter by programme and resource type to quickly find what you need.

Package-dependent, Hamish & Milo Online is optional and brings our SEMH resources together in an accessible, easy-to-use digital platform.

All session plans, planning tools, activity templates, handouts, and impact measurement tools are at your fingertips – for unlimited staff. It also includes direct links to PSHE learning outcomes for each session.

Track progress, evidence impact and view demographic insights to understand who is accessing support across child, group, programme, school, trust and local authority levels.

Navigator tracks changes in children’s feelings, presenting behaviours and social and emotional development, helping schools evidence progress and demonstrate the impact of interventions.
