New measures to enhance recruitment and retention in the teaching profession have been announced by the government today.
They include £1.5 million of new investment to deliver a three-year mental health and wellbeing support package for school and college leaders; providing professional supervision and counselling to at least 2,500 leaders.
The government is also committing to publish new guidance for schools – expected to be completed this spring - on how to prevent and tackle bullying and harassment of school staff.
The measures have been announced after extensive consultation with school leaders and teachers around the improvements they believe will ensure that teaching remains an attractive and rewarding profession.
