This toolkit offers practical exercises, tools and tips
to help school leaders implement healthy habits for 
supporting their own wellbeing, and to maintain a 
mentally healthy working environment for themselves 
and their team during times of challenge, for example 
during the inspection period.

We have kept ‘inspections’ in mind while designing
this toolkit, as we hear from school leaders that the 
inspection experience often triggers acute stress
and poor mental health for them and their staff. 
However, most of the exercises, tools and tips
will apply to other challenging situations faced
by school leaders and their teams. 

Mentally Healthy Schools have created some great guides and compliled them in this useful mental health lead resources hub
