With teachers’ workloads spiralling out of control, a renewed pressure from Government reforms and increasingly demanding Ofsted inspections, there has never been a greater need for schools to prioritise staff wellbeing.

Beyond the associated health risks, it is essential that staff are physically and mentally prepared if the school is to meet its obligations.

This course contains practical solutions and suggestions for promoting staff wellbeing; from coping strategies and techniques, to identifying and dealing with the root causes of a stressful workplace in a whole-school approach.

The course also makes use of video stimulus materials featuring school staff and wellbeing professionals; these are designed to guide participants through the associated tasks and deliver practical and informative wellbeing advice.
