Everything for supporting children’s social, emotional and mental health — and developing your own practice — in one place. This short tour shows how it fits together, and then you can explore the demo.

The BOUNCE Approach®
Everything is built from the body up.
Six pillars, in the order the nervous system develops. Each one rests on the one below: you cannot reason with a child whose body does not feel safe, or build identity before connection.

The portal follows the graduated approach. Every Snapshot, plan, course, activity and tool has its place in the cycle, and your own learning runs alongside all four.

1 · Assess
Start with a Snapshot.
Twelve statements, around two minutes, answered by an adult about one child under an anonymous code. The results show where the need sits, and the BOUNCE Framework Snapshot shows which pillar to start with.
Provision MappingWhat to put in place, and who does it

2 · Plan
Turn what you’ve found into a plan.
Provision Mapping turns the Snapshot into what to put in place. If a child has an EHCP, the EHCP tools organise Section F and turn it into short-term and I Can… targets.
Interventions to run over weeks, strategies for the moment, activities and printables, each one tied to a BOUNCE pillar. The Studio and KidZone have tools a child can use on screen beside you.
Use the same anonymous code for the next Snapshot, and the Snapshots Report Tool puts them in date order and shows what has changed. Then the cycle starts again. Example figures.
