The Wellbeing Toolkitis an invaluable resource for promoting wellbeing and resilience among all school staff, thereby improving staff attendance and retention, and helping all teachers fall back in love with teaching.In this thought-provoking book, Andrew Cowley, co-founder of Healthy Toolkit (@HealthyToolkit), draws on his own experiences as a school leader to unpick the myths around wellbeing and set out a practical, authentic and values-driven model that will enable leaders to foster a positive atmosphere for the benefit of the whole-school community. With a focus on developing a culture of positivity and self-care, effectively enabling all staff members to take ownership of the wellbeing strategy and supporting and promoting healthy lifestyles, this practical guide also considers scenarios arising from potentially more stressful incidents such as a bereavement. Staff wellbeing needs to be a strategic consideration for all primary and secondary school leaders, not something delivered on an ad hoc basis. Emphasis must be placed on really knowing staff, what motivates them and what may affect their confidence.The Wellbeing Toolkitoffers effective strategies for addressing staff wellbeing from a whole-school perspective with particular reference to reducing workload, managing stress and supporting teachers in challenging circumstances.

Andrew Cowley tackles the toxic side of school culture effected by high levels of accountability and change. All school leaders need this toolkit, which offers a principled, strategic approach to wellbeing and to building authentic relationships within the school community.
Andrew Cowley provides an insightful exploration of the concept, challenges and opportunities associated with putting wellbeing at the heart of any school. He writes with passion, enthusiasm and the can-do attitude that is needed to help individuals and school leaders to find the confidence to take charge and create the culture needed to allow staff wellbeing to thrive.
Cowley takes a sensible and human approach to outlining the importance of wellbeing for staff, balancing his approach between leaders and teachers. His guidance is reassuringly based on empathy, common sense and a sensitivity to the diversity of staff experiences, including advice on leading teams of parents, those undergoing fertility treatment and those seeking personal and professional fulfilment throughout life's trials. A recommended read for school leaders seeking to retain and develop staff, transforming the sometimes ambiguous concept of 'wellbeing' into practical strategies.

A great toolkit for supporting those working in schools to improve their undertaking of wellbeing. In order to ensure we are mindful of children's wellbeing, we need to put our own wellbeing first. It's about learning how to be well in order to be well to learn.

Wellbeing is vitally important in today's society. Andrew Cowley is an inspiration and a realist.The Wellbeing Toolkitis full of passion, strong values, principles and empowerment, and it is empirically researched, practical and accessible for all education professionals. This book should be required reading for trainee teachers, practising teachers, support staff, senior leaders, headteachers, governing bodies and trustees, stakeholders, researchers, the Department for Education and Ofsted. This book is absolutely fabulous.
Describing the book as a toolkit is spot-on - this really does give school leaders the tools they need to address and resolve the issues around well-being, improving the whole environment of the school and making it a positive and welcoming place to work and learn. A great staffroom resource and ideal for staff training and reflection.
