Preparation Checklist for Leads

Before filming, please:

Review the Intervention's evidence base

• Be clear on the purpose, target group, and expected outcomes of the intervention.

Know Your Audience

• Speak in a way that's accessible to both school staff and families.
• Avoid jargon or explain it simply.

Practice Your Key Messages

• Use the outline below to structure your thoughts.
• Aim for a natural, conversational tone.

Keep It Brief

• Target length: 1-2 minutes.
• Focus on clarity and impact.

Coordinate with the Filming Team

• Confirm your filming slot.
• Share any visuals or props you'd like to include.

Content Outline for Consistency

Each video should follow this simple structure:

1. Introduction (10-15 seconds)

• "Hi, I'm [Name], and I lead on [Intervention Name] at [Organisation/School]."

2. What is the Intervention? (20-30 seconds)

• Briefly describe the intervention.
• Mention who it's for (e.g., age group, needs).

3. Why It's Beneficial (30-45 seconds)

• Share the impact or outcomes you've seen.
• Highlight how it supports children's learning, wellbeing, or development.

4. What Families/Schools Can Expect (20-30 seconds)

• Explain what the intervention looks like in practice.
• Mention how families might be able to build on this at home

Optional Tips for Leads

• Smile and be yourself - warmth and authenticity go a long way.
• Use examples - a quick story or scenario can help bring the intervention to life.
• Speak slowly and clearly - especially for family-facing content.
