Teachers are our heroes. During lockdown, they have adapted to teaching children remotely, worked tirelessly to support the children they teach, and have prepared for sensitive transitions back to school when possible, to reduce stress and anxiety for the children.
It is important to remember that Covid-19 and repeated lockdowns will also have had an effect on the mental health and wellbeing of all members of the school staff. Similar measures should be put into place to support them as well as the children.
This resource includes tips for senior leaders, to help them support the wellbeing of their staff during the coronavirus pandemic.
