The overall picture of wellbeing is poor in the sector, with senior leaders remaining at risk, and classroom teachers seeing a significant decline in overall wellbeing.
The report shows significant feelings of loneliness and isolation experienced by staff in the sector. The report found that teachers and education staff feel twice as lonely at work (14%) compared to the national population of England (7%).
The report also highlights the breakdown in trust between the teaching profession and its regulatory bodies across the UK, especially Ofsted in England. The findings raise serious questions about the effectiveness of inspections, the impact on school leader and staff wellbeing and implications for learner outcomes.
