Emotional Resilience Questionnaire (ERQ)
Helping schools build Stability, Capability, and Positivity – at class, year, whole-school level, and across diverse pupil groups.
The Emotional Resilience Questionnaire (ERQ) enables schools and colleges to strengthen well-being and achievement by understanding how pupils and students cope with challenges, adapt to change, and maintain a positive outlook. Reports are delivered at tutor group, year group, and whole-school levels, with analysis by gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, and neurodiversity — helping every teacher and leader take targeted action so no learner is left behind.
Suitable for: Primary schools, secondary schools, and further education/colleges.

- Powerful Visuals for Quick Insight: Radar charts and colour-coded banding highlight strengths and needs.
- Guided Interpretation: Every score comes with plain-language explanations and targeted support suggestions.
