We also provide reporting data on specific wellbeing support accessed by students, giving both school level and trust level visibility of the extent of wellbeing needs in your settings (while maintaining user anonymity, ideal for planning and interventions).

Reviews
Andy Davies, Executive Head, Sandstone Trust
Pastoral care is something I am very passionate about and the more support we offer to children and young people in this area will no doubt lead to healthier, emotionally resilient students.
Sir Mark Grundy, CEO, Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust
askOLA delivers youngsters an immediate, evidence-based blend of academic and mental health support on their terms. There has been a great response and our students are feeling empowered.
Louise O’Gorman, KS3 teacher
Following conversations with our students, it's the integrity of the answers that remains key to the service’s success. They felt it was really unfair to ask families to know about difficult concepts so, one of the elements they already liked about the online learning systems, was that the OLAs were subject specialists. I really find it easy to be enthusiastic about the askOLA as it very simply solves a problem around supporting students and therefore supports their wellbeing.
