Includmi app for iPhone and iPad

Includmi is a wellbeing collaboration, assessment and improvement system that will capture data from across all pupils in a region and display this back to you in real time as insightful reports.
The app builds on our pioneering work with a number of Local Authorities and supports the NHS duty to collaborate at the heart of the nascent ICS Health and Care Partnerships.
The system will comprehensively capture the voices, preferences and experiences of your children, young people and their families and carers in order for the community and regional economy to “build back better”.
Includmi will help schools, NHS and locality commissioners to identify needs, inform decision making about priorities for action, join up education, health and care, and evaluate the success of their efforts. Improving accountability and enhancing public confidence.
Other stakeholders will also be able to take advantage of the data generated, creating the potential for national and international influence and significantly improved service delivery for children and young people.
What gets assessed gets addressed
Assessment and monitoring of mental health and wellbeing will help you and your schools and settings identify the needs of the pupil population, inform your decision making about priorities for action and evaluate the success of your collective efforts.
Currently less than half of your schools are likely to collect mental health and wellbeing data of any kind, and those that do tend to use homegrown surveys that may not be reliable or valid. We are working with Leicester University to ensure that the impact of our approach is always robustly evaluated and rooted in proven best practice.
Assessing what matters for children and their families.
Real time data
Includmi provides you with real time data on key aspects of children and young peoples lives via a secure online feedback system that allows schools and locality health and care stakeholders to interrogate data trends at different levels of granularity, for example by age, sex, ethnicity, and over time.
Wellbeing
The includmi app takes a positive psychology approach and tracks 8 key elements of wellbeing. Pupils can post information and chat with their support team. Consent driven care has been designed in to ensure trust and data security is at the heart of the system. This person centred approach gives SEND children and their families a strong voice in service delivery.
Prioritisation and cost savings
The use of live data will help you determine what provision is working in which schools and settings with a clear focus on value for money. This will help you strengthen the graduated response at school level with more effective support, services and systems to improve children and young peoples wellbeing.
Why school matters for mental health and wellbeing
Teachers
Teachers are the first port of call when parents worry about their child’s mental health. With includmi they get direct access to their pupils profiles. School is the primary developmental context after the family. Includmi is great for both SENCOs and the new Wellbeing Champions to strengthen home school links.
Learning
Children and young peoples mental health and wellbeing and their learning are interrelated. The includmi app builds resilience which allows children to thrive.
Safeguarding
Many key influences on mental health and wellbeing operate in and through schools, such as bullying. Management information from the app supports early intervention, nipping problems and concerns in the bud before they escalate.
The importance of wellbeing in the Covid-19 recovery process
Action is needed to tackle the long-term impact of the pandemic on young people with mental health problems. Many are struggling with isolation, a loss of faith in their prospects for the future and heavy academic pressure for those who are learning from home.
