Mental health awareness and attempts to tackle it are on the increase but for one in four of us it remains an everyday reality. We surveyed 2,145 teaching staff to find out more about the mental wellbeing of those working in our schools and colleges.
Of the teachers who responded to our survey, 94% reported having 'good' or 'perfect' mental health. Is the mental wellbeing of staff better than we may have first assumed?
An overwhelming 1,599 respondents did not take a day off last year due to mental health problems. Those who reported the worst mental health took more than three working weeks off.
