Investing in staff wellbeing is one of the most important things a school can do

Because they are the beating heart; every school's greatest asset. They set the tone for the rest to follow. That means, when staff are supported to nurture their wellbeing, it positively impacts the whole school community.

For those working hard to shape a whole-school approach to emotional health and wellbeing, Public Health England recommends putting staff wellness front and centre.

They also state that senior leadership teams that champion efforts to promote mental health and wellbeing are essential. We agree. The DfE's Education Staff Wellbeing Charter states that everyone working in education should have the opportunity to enjoy the highest standard of wellbeing. We agree with that too.
