Wellbeing CPD That Works!
Wellbeing is frequently discussed in education; however, despite its importance, the training needed to equip staff for success is often overlooked—especially given tight budgets
There is a comprehensive guide to the importance of staff wellbeing CPD, support with how to implement it in your setting and 6 trainings to use with your staff with printable resources.
I have written this ebook to equip education leaders with the tools they need to see their staff flourish and thrive.

Leadership
Step Up Network
Leadership can sometimes be lonely, scary, unsupported, untrained, underdeveloped, not diverse, negatively impact on your wellbeing. There are many who don’t have the opportunity to step up or step down because of lack of balance.
We are a grassroots network turned community interest company (CIC) and social enterprise that works with new and aspiring leaders in education to step up and thrive.
Our vision is that educational leadership:
- is diverse, inclusive and flexible;
- responds to the needs of the sector by positively disrupting leadership (in particular recruitment) and creating a strong talent pipeline;
- addresses the gaps in knowledge and skills for those stepping up educational leadership.
We aid our community by our five ways of working: Networking – providing a safe space within our network; Connecting – through our events; Supporting – our diverse leaders bursary and our directory; Sharing – through our blogs, social media and website; and Collaborating – through linking with and signposting to and from other organisations.
The content we produce for our network surrounds five key themes: Barriers, Development, Diversity, Journeys and Wellbeing. When speakers for our events or writers for our blog volunteer for us, we ask that they speak to at least one of the five themes.
