All About Me One-Page Profile – SEMH Needs

Looking for a simple yet highly effective way to communicate a child’s needs to everyone who works with them? This SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) One-Page Profile provides a clear, child-centred summary of the practical strategies, adjustments and support that help a pupil succeed in school and beyond. It includes key information about emotional regulation, sensory needs, attention, learning support, positive behaviour strategies, friendships, routines and safe adults.
These profiles have become an invaluable resource in our school and were praised by Ofsted for helping staff understand and meet pupils’ individual needs consistently. They are used daily by teachers, teaching assistants, lunchtime staff, breakfast club leaders and after-school club providers, ensuring that every adult working with a child has immediate access to the strategies that make a difference.
Parents also find these profiles incredibly useful and are encouraged to share them with sports clubs, dance schools, childminders, youth groups and other community organisations. This helps create a consistent approach across all environments and supports successful participation outside school.
Easy to personalise, professional in appearance and based on person-centred SEND practice, this resource strengthens communication between home, school and wider services while promoting inclusion, understanding and positive outcomes for children with SEMH needs.
A practical, Ofsted-recognised resource that every SENCO and inclusive school should have.
