The Wellbeing Programme

Changes in roles and responsibilities have resulted in greater demands on staff, many of whom are also reporting increased levels of stress.

The Well-Being Programme is designed to support schools and other educational organisations by identifying factors that create negative stress and putting into place strategies to address these. ALL staff within the school or service are involved, and it is important to ensure that everyone feels included and that their voice can be heard - this, after all, is an indicator of a healthy organisation. By working together to prevent pressure turning into stress, and promoting the health and well-being of the whole staff, organisations become places where colleagues support one another, where communication is effective and open, and where difficulties are addressed and resolved before they lead to crises.
