Welcome to our Supporter magazine!

Like many, we’ve had such a busy year doing as much as we can to support everyone working in education. Whether you're a teacher or support staff, primary right through to university – Education Support is here for your wellbeing.

This magazine shares some helpful resources for whole settings and individuals, as well as sharing news and updates from our charity. On page 14, an anonymous primary school leader has told us about the challenges of dealing with parents in current times. On page 8, we’ve shared our popular top tips for dealing with burnout to try and raise awareness of this and help more educators take the first steps towards feeling better.  On page 12, we’re delighted to share our recent success in influencing government to make broader changes to prioritise your wellbeing.

As a small charity, we’re so grateful for our donors and supporters, without which none of this impact would be possible. This magazine is just a glimpse into the difference they make. As you can see from this magazine we work at the individual, workplace and systems level to make change. Yes, yoga and reflection are important, but we know that wider change needs to happen for teachers and education staff to thrive in their roles, so we cover everything.

There are still plenty of people working in education that haven’t heard of us and our resources despite our sector-wide impact. If you can, it would be so helpful if you could let a friend or colleague know that free support is available through Education Support. We have guides online, a free counselling helpline, webinars and more! You could even mention us in a staff meeting, if that’s not pushing our luck!

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any feedback, thoughts or queries – we love to hear from you.

Kindest regards,

Sinéad Mc Brearty
CEO, Education Support
