Creating the Toolkit

Following the successful outcome of the Creating the Conditions pilot project, Teacher Support Scotland (TSS) and Fife Council believed that what was learned from the project should be shared with local authorities and education centres throughout Scotland. They sought the support of the Scottish Government and obtained funding to develop an effective practice guide.

Using the pilot project outcomes as the basis for the guide, TSS and Fife Council worked with North Lanarkshire Council to gather additional ideas and material that would support wellbeing at work. They collected and compiled tools, tips and templates and combined these with the ideas and suggestions offered by school and centre practitioners.

The result is the StaffWise Toolkit, an organised collection of good practice, common sense and creative ideas about staff wellbeing. A structured resource which leaders, managers, local authorities and individuals can use to measure, manage and maximise wellbeing and effectiveness in educational settings.
