Staff working in schools are under increasing amounts of pressure and their mental health can suffer as a result. Cuts to funding mean that class sizes are getting bigger, fewer support staff are employed, and the to-do lists are ever-increasing.
This can all lead to staff having less time for self-care and protecting their mental health. Bad habits can form very quickly and can lead to staff absence and “burn-out” – missing lunch with a colleague because you are copying resources for your lesson, missing a swim before school due to an extra meeting, losing sleep because you are worrying about a child protection situation that you have dealt with during the day.
