The MindMate Champions Programme is designed to promote and strengthen evidence‑based best practice in Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) provision within universal settings, alongside developing a confident and skilled workforce. Schools and Children’s Centres can be assured that the programme supports delivery of their SEMH local offer, meets Ofsted expectations, and aligns with national guidance and best practice in this area.
The programme forms part of the prevention strand of Future in Mind: Leeds, the city‑wide strategy to improve the social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of children and young people (CYP) aged 0–25. It focuses on building universal SEMH skills, including emotional literacy, resilience and empathy, and aims to support the wellbeing of all children and young people in schools and Children’s Centres.
The MindMate Champions Programme is delivered by the Health and Wellbeing Service and can be accessed through either a Service Level Agreement (SLA) or a range of Pay As You Go (PAYG) options.
