Building Healthcare Confidence Before Healthcare Is Needed
The CCF™ is Dr. Mittal's proprietary student wellbeing framework designed to measure and develop children's confidence in healthcare environments — because a child who avoids healthcare becomes an adult who delays it.
A child's ability to confidently access healthcare when needed. The CCF™ helps schools identify and strengthen healthcare confidence through age-appropriate education, observation, engagement activities, and parent partnership programmes.
Each pillar measures a distinct dimension of a child's relationship with healthcare — tracked across the academic year through structured observation, activities, and parent reporting.
Participating schools receive annual reporting through the Child Confidence Index™. The index measures four core dimensions across your student cohort — giving school leadership a genuine, data-backed wellness picture.
Schools receive anonymised cohort-level reporting. Example data:
The CCF™ gives your school a measurable, communicable, differentiated wellness metric — one that your parents, your board, and your admissions team can all point to.
Each component is built into the School Oral Wellness Programme. Together they constitute a complete year of structured, evidence-informed student wellness engagement.
"Most school dental programmes assess teeth. The Child Confidence Framework™ assesses a child's relationship with healthcare itself."
Because healthy children need more than healthy smiles. They need the confidence to seek care, ask questions, and participate in their own wellbeing throughout life.
