The CP provides you with valid and reliable outcomes
The Complete Package provides you with information about the mental health status of students in each class for each of the measures used. Findings from individual classes are compared to each other and to established norms. In addition, vulnerable children are identified in confidence.
Schools need objective, reliable means for assessing mental health in all students. Mental health is too important an issue to be addressed with anecdotal feedback and subjective reporting. Mental health programs are too costly to be implemented without assessment of their ongoing effectiveness
In modern society parents and other community members look to schools to accurately assess and evaluate mental health in children and adolescents.

The Assessment Process
Note: All reports take 10 working days
Once you have placed an order staff and students complete questionnaires either
- Online using our confidential online data entry system. OR
- By printing out a paper copy from our questionnaire templates. If this option is chosen then completed questionnaires can
- be entered onto a spreadsheet which is returned to us electronically or
- posted directly to us for data entry and analyses.
We send you completed reports as a confidential email attachment to a previously approved email address
Staff complete questionnaires for each child in their class. All questionnaires have been designed with the time pressures of teaching in mind and thus each takes under five minutes to complete. Each child also completes their own questionnaire. Younger children can be encouraged with additional guidance for each question; however, they should not need more than ten minutes to complete all questions. Older children can complete their more detailed questionnaires in ten – twenty minutes.
If you choose paper questionnaires then we can provide you with a specially prepared Excel spreadsheet for your data entry. This can be completed in less than 10 hours of employee time for an average sized school. Please note: we have designed the process to ensure that Wise Solutions offers an affordable evaluation and assessment service for your school. If you would like additional help and support with data collection and/or data entry we are happy to arrange this for you. Email your completed spreadsheet to Wise Solutions at your convenience.
Analyses of all data is then personally completed by Dr. Helen Street. Your school’s data is checked for accuracy, reliability and completeness. It is then analysed in detail using the latest statistical software. Helen ensures that scale items fit together in a valid way and that questionnaires have been completed accurately. Reliabiltiy is measured and validity reviewed. Helen accounts for missed items and inconsistent answers. Overall measures are then calculated and compared to norms. Multivariate statistics compare different groups with each other across classes and between years.
Your schools detailed analyses are incorporated into a comprehensive easy-to-read report. Each report is tailor-made specifically for your school. It highlights and discusses the significance of all findings. It includes suggestions for building on strengths and addressing weaknesses identified within different classes, years and sub-groups of children, as well as for the school as a whole. It incorporates a summary for easy reference as well as a detailed discussion of each construct being assessed (e.g. bullying, depression etc). Your school receives an electronic version of the report so that you can print and circulate copies among staff and other interested parties. Please note that to protect the privacy of individual students and staff, the identities of individuals are not revealed in the final report.
PLEASE NOTE: A separate confidential document is supplied electronically to your school. This additional document lists the names of any children who have indicated clinical levels of any of the mental health issues assessed.
