"Evidence shows that even in countries where there are seemingly robust well-being policies in education, there is considerable room for improvements."

3 - Tips for effective analysis and intervention planning
Consider these tips to effectively use our survey analysis reports and create your intervention plan:
Analyse at school level
Start by evaluating the overall wellbeing of the school. Assess the areas in which the school thrives and those that need improvement. Compare the average wellbeing scores received from students, teachers, and parents. If this is not the first time the survey has been conducted, compare the results of the current survey to previous ones to identify any trends and potential causes.
Analyse by year group and class
Using the same approach as the school level analysis, evaluate the results by year group and class. Compare the scores to the school average and look for any specific struggles in certain year groups.
Analyse at the student level
This is a very powerful step in the analysis process as it allows you to identify individual students who may need support. For example, a student who performs well academically and behaviourally but has no friends to play with during break time. Here you can tailor an individual intervention to help address the issue and improve wellbeing.
Developing effective intervention plans
Creating effective intervention plans is a team effort. For example, class-level interventions may involve meetings between the wellbeing coordinator, class teachers, year group leaders and special education needs team to review each student's situation. You may also want to engage the students and/or parents in the decision-making process to ensure their support and participation.
There are many possible interventions. Research has shown that interventions aimed at improving mental wellbeing, such as programmes focused on enhancing a sense of belonging and engagement and social-emotional skills, as well as physical activity, tend to be more effective. Additionally, interventions that are delivered by trained class teachers, are tailored to social groups and last longer than three months have been found to be more impactful (Dix et al., 2020).
Once a plan has been developed, assign responsibilities and set deadlines. Make sure that every action item has a clear owner and timeline. Follow up is key.
