The Teacher support network suggests that 17000 teachers seek help and guidance for stress every year and now runs Teacher Support Online which can offer email support But what is interesting is that the TES omits the key point that employers have a duty under health and safety directives to provide a healthy environment in which to work. An environment in which a number of people suffer stress because of the nature of the work is not a healthy environment and therefore leaves the schools open to legal challenges. This point is made in the book Recovery from Stress: A School Manager's Guide to Helping Colleagues which is now available at £20 plus VAT as a download from the First and Best Download Centre First and Best has also produced some articles on stress which are available for download only - again from the First and Best Download Centre The articles all take a practical approach to stress and look first to minimise the risk and secondly at means to support and help a teacher suffering from a stress-related illness. |
