SBM Wellbeing Index

School Business Leaders play an essential – but often unnoticed – role in the smooth running of schools. It benefits everyone to ensure they are mentally and emotionally healthy enough to take on this demanding, but important, role.

We have undertaken research with SBLs across England and Wales, in partnership with Education Support, to understand what aspects of their jobs affect their mental health and well-being, and how they can be supported in schools.

The findings of the research will be shared via a webinar launch on the 14th of March at 2 pm, with Louise Levy, Director of Education Mutual, and Sinead McBrearty, CEO of Education Support, sharing their insights into supporting the SBL community as a result of the findings. Sign up for the webinar here.

Please share information about the webinar launch via your own channels and networks to further support your School Business Managers.
