The research project aims to contribute to tackling the national school staff wellbeing crisis and supporting their effectiveness by consolidating the experiences of school leaders, teachers, and teaching assistants specifically in regards to their occupational wellbeing and professional development needs and support. The findings are aimed to assist schools in understanding the needs of their staff, as well as potentially guiding them in selecting, implementing, and evaluating wellbeing and professional development support provisions to help staff thrive in their workplaces.
This is the final opportunity for you and your staff to participate before the closing date of Friday 16th June, 2023 (midnight). The survey will take no longer than 15 minutes to complete.
