Why it works

This resource is linked to the Lead Well pillar of Well Schools. A well school recognises that staff need support to manage their physical, social and emotional wellbeing, just as pupils do. Giving staff a voice, building supportive relationships and providing access to appropriate support can help create a healthier and more positive working culture.

Question 1 – What is the impact on pupil outcomes?

Supporting staff wellbeing can contribute to more positive experiences for pupils by helping staff feel more engaged, connected and able to support participation and learning.

Question 2 – What is the impact on staff and the wider school community?

Staff Wellbeing Ambassadors can help increase participation, strengthen connections between colleagues and create a more positive staff culture through simple and inclusive wellbeing activities.

Question 3 – What are the wider impacts of this approach?

Staff wellbeing can be supported through trained advocates, staff voice and small preventative actions without requiring significant investment, while complementing wider professional and organisational support.
