Championing nurture in education
We help to unlock pupils’ potential, by removing barriers to learning. In the last year we’ve reached over:
From understanding behaviour to nurturing wellbeing

Uncovering needs, providing support
In every classroom, there are children facing invisible barriers. On average, over a third of pupils have some social, emotional, or mental health (SEMH) need. You see the behaviour, but how do you uncover the needs behind it? The Boxall Profile® Online moves beyond guesswork, providing a clear framework to understand a child’s inner world and give them the support they need to engage fully with their learning.
In addition, research in our Now You See Us study suggests that another quarter of pupils will have moderate SEMH needs, which are much harder for educators to identify, but which can have a significant impact on pupils’ learning.

Start with understanding
The award-winning Boxall Profile® Online is the first step along the graduated approach to nurture and is the best way to identify and address hidden issues, ensuring that every child and young person gets the support they need to engage fully with their learning. The combination of the assessment tool and the graduated approach helps to create a nurturing and supportive environment, ensuring that children and young peoples emotional and social wellbeing is addressed effectively throughout the different levels of support.
Boxall Profile® assessments are not designed as a diagnostic tool for specific mental health conditions, learning difficulties or developmental difficulties. Instead, assessments are designed to help professionals understand and work more effectively with children and young people, in a way that’s sensitive to the needs of the child or young person being assessed.

Identify barriers to learning
The two-part checklist, which is completed by staff who know the child and young person best, is quick — and, very importantly, identifies the levels of skills that children and young people possess to access learning.
