Includmi is a personal development and well-being journaling platform to amplify “student voice” so all young people are safe, included and achieve their full potential.

This is good for students:

30% accelerated progress

Using Includmi enables children and young people to develop and express their own authentic voice, not through staff, but rather by empowering them to advocate for themselves and be actively involved in their education, health and care journey. Whilst supported by staff they trust, students control what is completed, developing their decision-making skills, interaction with others and their self-management of emotions. This helps them overcome barriers to learning, accelerate their progress and achieve their full potential.

Good for parent carers:

100% transparency

Parent carers can download includmi and see how their young person is getting on and help them with their wellbeing journal; and so they know that they are being heard by the professionals supporting them and their happiness and welfare is catered for by reasonable adjustments at school. This means they feel more like partners working together for the benefit of their child and less like they have to constantly fight to get the personalised support their child needs.

Good for SENCOs, PSHE leaders, safeguarding and pastoral staff:

20% time saving & Shifts the conversation from "What's wrong with this student?" to "What's wrong with this environment?"

Includmi helps leaders establish a culture in which all staff are highly vigilant in identifying pupils who may face barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing. Includmi supported wellbeing journaling can be used to monitor in real time the impact of targeted support, time-limited placements, or as part of daily school life; helping staff systematically review adaptations and monitor the progress of pupils with additional needs, adjusting them as needed, so that they make a sustained difference to pupils’ learning and/or well-being. Includmi is also great for saving admin time on:

Individual Education Plans, EHCP annual reviews, SEN Support, PEP and Transition reviews
Alternative Provision and flexible timetabling
Statutory assessment requests
Reports to parent carers, governors, trustees and senior leadership

Good for MATs and LAs:

min of 5 x ROI + 2 weeks time saving

Leaders carefully track access to make sure that personal development and well-being opportunities and environments are enriching, accessible and targeted. The scaleability of Includmi embraces all young voices across groups of schools and settings, which saves weeks of leadership time in evidence gathering and analysis. Real time reports ensure leaders have a keen understanding of the barriers that pupils face and can tackle these swiftly and expertly. Leaders can secure thousands in additional funding through demonstrable education, health and care needs analysis and avoid costs of late, inefficient or ineffective provision. Includmi is at the heart of evidence based improvements, moving inclusion beyond individual adaptation and toward changing systems and making a tangible difference to all pupils’ learning, development and well-being.

Good for trustees and governors:

SLT impact & accountability

Real time Includmi reports help governors/trustees support and challenge leaders on inclusion, personal development and well-being. They can hold leaders to account effectively for the school’s support and provision for pupils with additional needs.

Get inspection ready and put student voice at the heart of your inclusion, personal development and well-being initiatives.

Pupil voice is a key part of the ISI inspection framework which “places the responsibility of the school’s leadership and management and governance to actively promote the wellbeing of pupils” and “promotes the active seeking of pupils’ views”.

Ofsted and CQC Inspectors will be able to draw on includmi’s student voice information to “evaluate the impact of the local area partnership’s arrangements on the experiences and outcomes of children and young people with SEND.”
