News Mental health & neurodiversity Sussex

A review and evaluation of the whole school approach to mental health in schools and colleges delivered by Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex, University of Sussex, Charlie Waller Trust, and West Sussex County Council, identified concerns about the lack of measures that were in place to evaluate the impact this work was having. As a result, the research team worked with staff and pupils, and in consultation with Mental Health Support Teams (MHST) leads and colleagues from Department for Education and NHS England, to develop a new self-assessment tool for schools and colleges to assess and track the outcomes that could be linked to their WSCA work on mental health and wellbeing.

The Whole School and College Approach (WSCA) Measurement Toolkit help schools and colleges measure and self-assess the impact of their whole school and college approach to emotional wellbeing and mental health.
