Why promote staff health and wellbeing in schools?
The guidance document outlines the links between healthy staff and productive organisations and considers some of the current data to support a ‘business case’ for investing in staff health and wellbeing. This includes information that highlights teaching as being one the most stressful occupations with teachers being more likely to suffer mental ill-health than those in comparable occupational groups such as doctors or nurses. The report also provides absence data for teachers and outlines some of the key messages required in a business case.
