Developing Wellbeing Strategies

Having a clear wellbeing strategy is a really important aspect of building a sustainable staff support system. Integrating this strategy into wider school improvement goals ensures that support is meaningful and not forgotten with all of the other conflicting priorities that school face.

​

We have wide experience of working with schools to produce these strategies and developing a wellbeing team to ensure that moving forward, the work is self-sustaining.

  • Sustainability is key. Spending time developing a focused wellbeing team, who are clear of their aims will support this.

  • It doesn't need to cost a lot of money. Having a good wellbeing strategy is absolutely not about grand gestures, like arranging away days or expensive activities on a one-off basis.
