MindMate Champions is an evidence-based self-evaluation, action planning and recognition programme for Leeds Nurseries, Children's Centres, Schools, SILCs and Colleges, and is part of the prevention element of Future in Mind Leeds Strategy. We want to support you in creating spaces where all children and young people feel safe to talk about how they feel, and staff feel confident that they can respond and signpost effectively. MindMate Champions is designed to promote best practise in SEMH provision, provide a hub of multi-media resources and give settings a forum to connect and learn from one another. Within the website you'll find MindMate Lessons, a modern Social, Emotional and Mental Health curriculum for Key Stage 1-4. These lessons have been updated so they are line with the 2019 statutory guidance.

The lessons are reviewed every summer, to ensure they are still up to date, relevant and that all links and resources work. Where any changes are made, schools and setting are informed in the autumn term.
