Education Staff Wellbeing at its lowest

Education Staff Wellbeing at its lowest

Staff wellbeing across the education sector has fallen to its lowest level since 2019, with 36% of education staff at risk of clinical depression and nearly a third actively considering leaving their roles due to mental health pressures. Schools and colleges are facing unprecedented challenges, including rising stress levels, poor sleep, emotional fatigue, and increasing demands on staff to fill gaps in wider social support. Leaders are carrying the heaviest burden, with 86% reporting high stress and most saying they simply don’t have enough time to do their jobs.

At Staff Care Services, we recognise the urgency. Your staff need early, accessible, and comprehensive support now more than ever, and you need a wellbeing partner who can help you take meaningful, measurable action.
