— Mr C - Evolve (@JeevanSChagger)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:03:48- @ukedchat They should build a culture in school where is it ok to talk about teacher health and wellbeing. Head needs to be approachable.

— Paul Norris (@PaulWN1)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:04:31- @lauthorne @ukedchat I don't think it's necessarily down to the school leaders. It's down to everyone within the community to understand the pressures #ukedchat

— E.Y Inspiration (@ey_inspiration1)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:05:50 - @ey_inspiration1 @ukedchat But, in fairness, where are the management getting their pressures from? #ukedchat Higher up in the chain!

— Unio By Harness (@UnioByHarness)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:08:02 - @goodman_ang Perhaps formal expectations should be placed on all schools? #ukedchat

— DigiColEd (@digicoled)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:08:27 - @digicoled @ukedchat Agreed but not always! Some slt ask for more and more but they must not forget their staffs wellbeing. Depends on the leadership team

— UKEdChat (@ukedchat)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:08:54- @digicoled Tricky though - the minute something becomes formal it generates paperwork for someone #UKEdChat

— Angela Goodman (@goodman_ang)Thu, Jun 08 2017 19:09:05 - @digicoled @ukedchat Agree. But first senior management need to be willing to discuss teacher health. The rest of the school community will follow suit.
