What to expect from the assessment

Most businesses have a network of Mental Health First Aiders or Champions, but few were given clarity on how to build structure, safety and measurable impact across the programme. This free online assessment takes roughly 5 minutes and evaluates your network against 5 key areas, uncovering strengths and weaknesses along with an overall risk score.

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 & People Professionals, Wellbeing Managers, Health & Safety professionals, anyone responsible or operating within a 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.

Common questions

A few things you might ask before taking the assessment.

Yes, completely. No payment details required. You’ll receive your complete score and a breakdown of results immediately on completion.

No. The questions are based on how your network is structured and supported, not specific figures. If you’re responsible for the programme, you’ll have everything you need to answer them.

Between 5 and 10 minutes. You’ll receive your results immediately.

Your score is yours to use in the way that’s most helpful, whether that’s identifying where to focus internally, or building a case for investment with leadership. If you’d like to talk through your results, we’re happy to do that too, but there’s no pressure.
