Outcomes and Multi – Agency Approach

 Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires is a brief emotional and behavioural screening questionnaire which is used at Market Field School to consider the most appropriate intervention and support for a pupil.

This data is then reviewed every term by the Wellbeing team to evaluate the impact of an intervention a pupil is accessing, and whether further support is needed. This a nationally recognised scaling assessment, which allows us to use a multi-agency approach if we feel further support is needed.

The wellbeing team are able to support referrals to EWMHS and other outside agencies.

‘At any one time, approximately 51% of our children and families are receiving support from the school wellbeing and therapy team and we are tremendously proud of the difference we are making to the lives of these people’
