Using miMove Data to Support Student Wellbeing & Safeguarding
miMove data can help staff support wellbeing and safeguarding by spotting unusual behaviour, triangulating with other evidence, and using AI insights. When combined with small, positive check-ins, miMove ensures every student feels seen, heard, and supported.
miMove provides powerful insights into student activity, motivation, and engagement. When used thoughtfully, this data can play a valuable role in supporting wellbeing and safeguarding. Below are some practical ways schools are already using miMove to keep every student seen and heard.
Spotting Unusual Behaviour
-
Look for changes over time: Sharp increases or sudden downturns in activity levels may indicate a student is going through a difficult period.
-
Notice patterns: Shifts in the types of activity logged (e.g., stopping a long-enjoyed sport) can also provide useful signals.
Triangulate with Other Evidence
-
Cross-reference with other data: Use miMove posts alongside other wellbeing indicators, attendance records, or staff observations.
-
Check flagged students: If a concern has already been raised, log in to miMove and review their activity.
-
Use groups for easier tracking: Some schools create staff-only groups to quickly access the accounts of vulnerable students. (Students do not see which groups they are in.)
Make the Most of AI Support
-
Use Mo, the AI Co-Pilot: Mo can quickly surface key trends and data, saving time and making it easier to spot changes that might need attention.
Building Positive Connections
Prevention is always better than intervention. Many schools use miMove as a tool to enhance human connection and to show students that staff care.
-
Primary schools: Class teachers check a handful of accounts each week—perhaps 2–3 per class—then use the data as a conversation starter.
-
Secondary schools: Pastoral staff (form tutors or Heads of Year) often adopt a similar approach with their groups.
-
Simple check-ins: A comment like “I saw you did [name of activity] last week—that’s great! How was it?” shows recognition and builds trust.
-
Respond to concerns: If a student shares a worry (e.g., feeling isolated during enrichment), acknowledge it calmly, offer reassurance, and look for subtle ways to support inclusion.
On our student forums, young people consistently tell us that these small interactions are highly impactful and make them feel valued.
