Supporting Staff Wellbeing

#oeStaffWellbeing

Why is this conference relevant?

‘A total of 31 per cent of teachers had experienced a mental health problem in the past academic year – up a third since the previous year’ Dave Speck, TES, May 2019

Teaching is increasingly becoming a high-stress career. The pressure to perform and meet the ever-changing needs of education stakeholders has all too often resulted in teachers striving to achieve at the considerable expense of their own wellbeing. This has led to burnout, an increase in staff absence and retention issues.

This one-day event will equip you with invaluable guidance and easy-to-implement strategies to create a whole-school culture that prioritises staff wellbeing, such that is integral to ensuring effective teaching and support.

What can I expect?

This event will host insightful keynotes and content-rich workshops designed to inform you of interventions you can lead to support staff wellbeing in your school: 

• strengthen relationships between staff and their SLT through the effective dissemination of information, constructive two-way feedback and empathetic organisation
• gain simple, cost-effective strategies that directly address the systemic issues of workload and mitigate factors contributing to teacher burnout 
• optimise your approach to embedding wellbeing within CPD and teacher training
• benefit from a diverse hub of sharing best practice, arming you with a toolkit to create, implement and monitor interventions within your own school.
