I absolutely agree here. This is where schools need to be focusing in order to retain educators. Whilst there are many things on a system level that need to change, each school can too be the driver of change in their setting to increase feeling safe and valued, build trust and support and encourage work/life balance. Each school is so bespoke and unique yet there is a lot of unrealised autonomy that can be drawn upon to rethink and redesign how a school functions.
