Education workforce – health and wellbeing support: report findings and recommendations

Operational Definitions

The Project Team- Education Workforce Support Project Team

• Comprised of the ADES Executive Officer, three SG colleagues and two seconded project officers/report authors.

The Reference Group – Supporting Workforce Wellbeing Stakeholder Reference Group (SWWSRG)

• Comprised of representatives from Trade Unions, Scottish Government, Education Scotland, GTCS, ADES, SAMEE, education establishments, LAs and CLD Standards Council.

This group was initially tasked with the oversight of Education Scotland's procurement of a package of support available nationally which included supervision spaces, support for early career teachers (Stepping Stones), a leadership programme for BAME teachers and offers in values-based leadership. Additionally, a coaching offer of one to one, peer to peer and a national PL programme in coaching for success were offered. Currently the national offer includes online coaching opportunities for all education practitioners with a wellbeing focus, and targeted coaching opportunities for those with leadership, pastoral or CP responsibilities. The group was reformed to provide steering for the creation of this report.
