Using measurement tools to understand pupils' needs

Understanding need is one of our 5 Steps towards a whole school or college approach to mental heath and wellbeing. This short guide for schools and colleges focuses on how to use measurement tools to understand pupils’ wellbeing so that you can provide them with the support they need.

In this resource we focus on two main ways of using surveys: 1. Using surveys with large groups of pupils (a cohort) to understand their needs. 2. Using questionnaires with individual pupils to understand their specific needs.

We recommend this useful resource for any schools and colleges who want to understand the mental wellbeing needs of their pupils using a simple step-by-step approach.
