MindSafe is an online mental wellbeing tool for pupils, parents and schools, and available for MATs (Multi-Academy Trusts) to support them. Similar to mental health and wellbeing workshops, our platform offers person-centred counselling in action and includes a mood diary, journal, talk option and ‘about me’ information.

It gives peace of mind for parents and evidence-based decision making and impact assessment for educators as well as safeguarding support.

Each school that buys a licence has access to their own anonymised pupil data down to class and gender level. This shows how they are feeling about different emotions, the most used words from their Journal entries as well as general activity levels.

All pupils will have a Chosen Adult (nominated by the school) to whom they can reach out with a request to “Talk” about whatever they want to, when they need to.

Additionally to standard safeguarding measures MindSafe also includes a unique “Red Word” alert system. If a child uses a word in their account, known to put themselves or someone else at risk, the school will receive an immediate notification for this so you can take action as soon as possible.

You will also have access to real time reports and detailed usage analysis, identifying trends and patterns in what pupils are experiencing. If you use the PupilVoice surveys, you will also be able to see individual pupils’ responses along with class or whole school summary reports.

All your pupils can benefit from using the tool, including those whose circumstances increases their vulnerability. Any child may want to talk about their wellbeing, share good news or sort a problem and the apps enable them to do so quickly, easily and in their own words.

You can also monitor how they are performing comparable to their peers or as a separate group.

Quick and easy – all we need from you are a few details from your school, and we’re ready to set up all your pupil and staff accounts. It only takes about 30 minutes to set up your whole school and provide you with the accounts.

Set up for secondary schools is even easier as log-in details are sent directly to the pupils. Then, throughout the year, you can manage minor changes such as adding new staff members or pupils.

If your school uses SIMS, you can also set MindSafe up directly from your SIMS tile store.
