Rest, reflect, reset summer wellbeing toolkit

This summer, we’re encouraging teachers and education staff to take the time to rest, reset and reconnect with life beyond the classroom.

After a demanding year, switching off from work can be easier said than done but it’s a vital part of protecting your wellbeing and recharging for the year ahead.

To support you, we’ve gathered a selection of resources designed to help you unwind over the break and look after yourself. These tips can help you step back, slow down and make space for recovery.
