According to Department for Education (DfE) around 40,000 educators left the state-funded sector in 2021/22, and the majority left for a change of career, or to join another education sector. Today, many educators state they are overworked and undervalued, impacting their levels of stress, anxiety, and ability to do their job.
In addition, the NHS and Place2Be share that 1 in 6 children experience mental health difficulties, and access to the right support in schools is often limited. School related pressures, exam stress, anxiety, and other factors impact student wellbeing.
Evidence suggests that psychologically safe spaces can improve staff retention, fosters inclusion, encourages creativity, and boosts wellbeing, alongside a host of other benefits.
Psychological safety in education, is driven by inclusive leadership, where everyone feels respected, valued, able to develop interpersonal skills, and can safely contribute new ideas, or raise concerns. Psychological safety enables students and staff to bring their whole selves to school, where they can be vulnerable, ask for help, and feel supported to take risks without being judged.
