It is being hosted by charity Education Support and has been set-up with £760,000 in Department for Education (DfE) funding.
The scheme is aiming to offer the counselling and peer group support to around 2,000 school leaders, helping those at deputy head level and above with their mental wellbeing. The service will run until March 2023.
The scheme builds on a pilot involving more than 350 school leaders which was launched in response to the challenges brought about by the pandemic.
The service will offer eligible school leaders facilitated online peer support where participants “can safely reflect with other school leaders”. There will also be individual telephone support.
