- Showing signs of anxiety, or depression
- Showing signs of poor emotional health and wellbeing
- Showing a decrease in attendance and attainment or has a history of low attendance and attainment and at risk of becoming NEET
- Showing difficulties in identifying and establishing healthy relationships
