NAHT response to Mental Health and Wellbeing of Ethnic Minority Teachers report

Commenting on Education Support's new report on the mental health and wellbeing of Black, Asian and minority ethnic teachers, Natalie Arnett, senior equalities officer at school leaders’ union NAHT, said: “The impact that heavy workload, high-stakes accountability and post-pandemic burnout has had on the health and well-being of senior leaders and teachers is well documented.

"However, this report reflects the additional burdens that many of our Black, Asian and minority ethnic members report having to face, including micro-aggressions and barriers to progression.

“These findings shine a light on distressing experiences which no one should have to endure and add further weight to our calls for the government to make anti-racism training mandatory for all school staff.”
