Assessing the emotional wellbeing, mental health and resilience of pupils and staff in schools across the country

Trailblazer areas, including Greater Manchester, Oldham and South West London, as well as other counties, such as Rutland, have chosen to work with CORC in order to assess the emotional wellbeing, mental health and resilience of pupils and staff in their local schools.
In collaboration with the Evidence Based Practice Unit (EBPU), we aim to help our project partners in these regions to review and support the wellbeing of their pupils and teaching staff, by providing them with anonymised reports of survey findings. We show the impact of provision on an indidivual school level, across the region and nationwide by comparing the data with data from children in schools around the country.
We also measure the impact of specific interventions by developing logic models with providers, establishing expected outcomes and change mechanisms. We advise on appropriate validated tools to measure impact and support the development of data collection processes and how to evaluate impact over time.
