Ladies College in Guernsey implemented The Decider Life Schools as a pilot project over the 2015-2016 academic year.
The teachers were taught the skills in a half day workshop and they went on to teach their students (from academic years 7 to 10).
205 students from 4 year groups completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) before learning the skills, and repeated ten months later.
The results indicate the students had a clinically significant reduced score post intervention.

Evidence suggesting increased mental health and wellbeing problems with children gives a rationale for developing and delivering proactive interventions. The Decider Skills is a framework that aims to teach children skills to manage their emotions and wellbeing. This study looked at whether students who participate in the programme as a whole-school approach would demonstrate an increased ability to recognise and better manage their emotions as rated by themselves, their parents, and their teachers.

"We enjoy using the amazing Decider Skills in our ELSA sessions always as they are very useful to reach secondary students in their scenarios to empower them to cope. I have also used students of a whole class to act out the skills for each other in year 7. It was great fun and a big win on the feedback forms. We were able to get counselling sorted for a student that reached out for help on the feedback form - for this reason I want you to know how incorporating the Decider Skills in our ELSA work is helpful to students and adults alike, so thank you. Thank you for all the good you enable."
