Our free Back to School guides offer advice ahead of September and the wider opening of schools.
In this 12-page guide, we consider how we can best support school staff as the coronavirus lockdown eases and as we prepare to re-open schools fully this September. We consider a range of issues relating to wellbeing and mental health, as well as topics such as CPD, workload and health & safety.
Articles include:
- Building wellbeing into your plans for September
- Coping with the unknown (including bereavement support)
- Talking with colleagues about mental health (dos and don'ts)
- Supporting September's NQTs who have missed out on a crucial part of their training year

- Secondary case study: The four Cs of staff wellbeing
- Primary case study: How are your staff feeling?
- Leadership, wellbeing, culture & communication: Advice from across the North East
