Three tools. One place to lead wellbeing.
Plan the year, audit your provision, and find the right survey — the three jobs every Senior Mental Health Lead has to do, without the cost or the spreadsheets.
Wellbeing Calendar
Map awareness dates, seasonal themes, and ready-to-use wellbeing resources across the whole school year — so your plan is set before the term starts, not scrambled together the week before.
Wellbeing Audit
Benchmark your provision against the DfE's 8 principles of a whole-school approach. Rate each principle, capture evidence as you go, and generate a report and action plan you can put in front of SLT, governors, and Ofsted.
Survey Library
Browse 99 research-backed questionnaires for pupils, staff, and parents — from the Stirling Children's Wellbeing Scale to the DfE Staff Workload Survey — with PDF downloads at the ready.
Built around the DfE's 8 principles of a whole-school approach.
The audit walks your team through every principle in turn. Rate where you are, attach the evidence you already have, and finish with a report and action plan that show exactly where to focus next.
See where you stand
A clear picture of strengths and gaps across all 8 principles, instead of a gut feeling about how wellbeing is going.
Turn it into a plan
Priority actions generated from your responses, so the audit ends with next steps — not just a score.
Evidence it to anyone
A professional, downloadable report written in language that works for SLT, governors, trustees, and Ofsted.
Leadership & management
Ethos & environment
Curriculum, teaching & learning
Student voice
Staff development & wellbeing
Identifying need & monitoring impact
Working with parents & carers
Targeted support & referrals
Whether it's your first term in the role or your tenth year.
New to the Senior Mental Health Lead role?
The toolkit gives you a ready-made starting point: a year plan from the calendar, a baseline from the audit, and surveys you can hand to staff on day one. You don't have to build your approach from a blank page.
Been leading wellbeing for years?
Use the audit to pressure-test provision you've already built, evidence it against the DfE's 8 principles, and keep your calendar and survey bank in one place instead of a folder of spreadsheets.
When you're ready to measure, Bounce grows with you.
The toolkit helps you plan and audit. The Bounce Together platform takes the next step: run those surveys digitally with pupils, track wellbeing over time, and surface the children who need support before concerns become visible.
