Research tells us that workload is still an issue for many teachers despite great efforts to drive down workload in recent years. We also need to prioritise our wellbeing and make sure that we look after our own mental health and that of colleagues in our schools.

This session is designed to share practical strategies to support workload and to help staff to spot the signs of when they or their peers may not be coping. It will also share advice on how we can best support colleagues at these times including signposting what we do across the Trust to reduce workload and support wellbeing. This session will be delivered by Juliet Stafford, wellbeing lead across the Trust, Molly Thomason HR Lead for the Trust and Alice Donovan, wellbeing lead for DEC.

Session Lead: Molly Thomason, Alice Donovan, Juliet Stafford.
