Why a risk assessment is necessary
Most organisations have Mental Health First Aiders or Champions in place. But very few have real visibility of what’s happening, which leaves the programme owner and the organisation exposed if something goes wrong. This assessment provides a clear risk score and breakdown of where your network is vulnerable, covering governance, engagement, and supporter safety.
If you’re responsible for the Mental Health First Aid or Champion network, and you’re not completely sure it’s being run safely, this 5-minute assessment is where to start.
How are answers evaluated?
Each answer is evaluated against HSE guidance, ISO 45003 standards, The Supporter Method framework, and workplace safeguarding requirements.
Who's it designed for?
HR Business Partners, Wellbeing Managers, Health & Safety professionals, anyone responsible for their Mental Health First Aid or Champion network.

How do you compare with other organisations?
The average programme scores 48%, which sits under the high risk category. Please note, a low score isn’t a reflection on the people involved. Organisations were told to run Mental Health First Aid training without a framework to embed governance, oversight, or proactive support in place. Across all submissions to date, here’s how organisations typically score:
66.67% of programmes score in the high risk range, a risk score between 0–59.
20.59% of programmes score in the exposed to risk range, a risk score between 60–79.
12.74% of programmes score in the low risk range, a risk score between 80–100.
