Emotional Me programme
Emotional Me is a new, evidence-informed programme developed by KCA Training to support emotional regulation, resilience, and wellbeing in children and young people. As part of the programme, teachers receive training and resources, including lesson plans, to support its delivery in schools. In 2025, Wiltshire Council funded a pilot programme, which saw Emotional Me implemented in 18 schools across the county, including three secondary schools. IPC was commissioned to independently evaluate the programme’s feasibility, as well as the views of teachers and pupils on its content.
IPC independent evaluation
Our mixed-methods evaluation, which included a survey and interviews with teachers and a short questionnaire for children, found that the programme was well aligned with schools’ ambitions to support children’s emotional health and wellbeing and could be implemented successfully. Children also reported positive views of the programme content. Following the success of the first pilot, Wiltshire Council decided to extend the programme for a second year, with 31 schools. IPC continues to provide the independent evaluation.
