The I Matter Starter Plan and Checklist

You’ve heard that relationship health matters.
You may even agree!

But when it comes to practice, you may be quietly wondering:

• What does this actually look like day to day?

• Where would we even start?

• How do I/we talk about this without overwhelming others?

The I Matter Starter Plan is a calm, practical entry point.
It helps you move from interest to first steps — without jargon, pressure, or long training commitments.

What This Is (and Isn’t)

What it is

• A 1-page, printable Starter Plan

• A simple action checklist

• Designed to be completed in around 7 minutes

• Suitable for schools, primary care, community organisations, practitioners, and parents

• A way to see relationship health in practice, not just theory

What it isn’t

• The Starter Plan is not a full training

• It is not the I Matter framework 

• It is not a compliance tool

The Starter Planner is about getting clarity and checking your own priorities and readiness.

What the Starter Plan Helps You Do

In one page, you’ll be guided to:

1️⃣ Think about what is happening right now and your strengths

Think through your current situation and what is going well

2️⃣ Identify your current concerns or priorities

Think though your current concerns and priorities

3️⃣ Choose one realistic next step

Figuring out how to move things forward is often a key step for relationship health:  For example:

• A conversation is needed.
• A routine needs some more attention.
• A tone of voice you are using may need some adjustment
• Some missed actions may need some responsible actions
  
  

4️⃣ Think about who else could be involved

Children, families, staff, leaders, community partners — relationship health is shared work.

Who This Is For

This Starter Plan is especially helpful if you are just starting out as:

• A teacher, SENCO, or school leader wanting a practical starting point

• A GP, social prescriber, or primary care professional supporting families

• A community or voluntary sector lead building shared understanding

• A practitioner or parent curious about the I Matter approach but not ready for training yet

It works equally well individually or as a short team conversation tool.

How It Fits with the I Matter Framework

The I Matter Starter Plan sits before formal training.

It helps people:

• Orient to this way of thinking

• Develop shared language

• Decide whether they’re ready for deeper learning

From here, your next steps might include:

• Phase 1–2: I Matter Framework Fundamentals
  (core theory and understanding of relationship health)

• Community Wheel Implementation Sprint
  (for organisations ready to move from understanding to practical, shared action)

There is no expectation to progress — the I Matter Starter Plan stands on its own.

What People Often Say After the Starter Plan and Introductions

“This helped me see what we’re already doing — and what we’ve been missing.”

“I finally understand how this could be a fit for us.”
