Steps for schools

Thank you for your interest in the Wellbeing Measurement for Schools staff survey. The steps involved are detailed below but if you have any queries please refer to the FAQs or email us at wellbeingmeasurement@annafreud,org

Step one:  Register online

Registration for the Wellbeing Measurement for Schools staff survey is completed online. You will be asked to:

• provide main contact key details and contact information for your school
• to indicate your preferred survey and reporting timings
• to indicate if you are a primary, secondary or all-through school.

Step two:  Receive your staff survey link

The Wellbeing Measurement for Schools staff survey link will be emailed to the main school contact.

We recommend that you test the survey link before distribution to ensure that the website hosting the survey is not blocked by your network or devices, and that there won’t be an issue if a large number of staff simultaneously access the link.

You might want to add the survey link to your school's 'white list'.

Step three:  Email all staff

Staff will complete the survey online. This can be done on a computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone.

The main school contact should:

• inform staff that the survey is taking place and encourage participation
• share the staff survey link exactly as it is provided
• set a deadline to complete the survey by
• send reminders to staff with the survey link.

Step four:  Receive bespoke feedback for your school

Your Wellbeing Measurement for Schools Staff Survey Report will be sent to the main school contact as per the schedule selected at registration. The report will compare your school's data with aggregated data from other schools nationally.

Please remember that the survey is for the purposes of understanding the mental wellbeing of all participating staff. Even where questionnaire responses indicate that individual staff members have scores that may raise concern, relevant senior staff members cannot be made aware of individual responses. Please ensure staff are appropriately informed. It is important that all staff are aware of this and understand how to share concerns and access support if they need to.

Your school will be invited to attend the online 'Understanding and using your WMfS staff survey report' webinar to help you better understand the survey results and consider how they might best be used.
