Created specifically for education leaders by those who support them on a daily basis, this free seminar will provide a helpful update on the key issues impacting the sector right now, answer common queries currently being asked by schools, and help you to manage staff and maintain safety and compliance.
In our second Breakfast Briefing, our experts will focus on the vitally important topic of mental health and wellbeing within education.
According to HSE statistics, there were 77,000 reported cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety (new or long-standing) in education in 2020, accounting for over half of all cases of ill health within the sector.
With the recent release of the Education Staff Wellbeing Charter on 10 May along with the government’s announcement of a £17 million pot to build on the mental health support available in education settings, it seems that we are making positive strides when it comes to recognising, and tackling, the intense demands and pressures placed on those working in the field.
To help schools/Trusts fulfil their legal and moral obligations in respect to tackling work-related stress and wellbeing, we are offering a free seminar, where our trio of specialists hosts will be taking a deep dive into the issue from both a legal, HR and health and safety perspective.
Led by solicitor and Head of our Education Team Jane Hallas, Principal Health & Safety Consultant Scott Crichton, and HR Consultant Simon Bellard, this free one-hour session will cover:
