ETF leadership mental health and wellbeing podcast

By: The Education and Training Foundation
  • Summary

  • Learning from others and exploring new ways of working requires authentic discussion, vulnerability and trust to talk openly. Through discursive interviews, this podcast series will showcase real stories to show how FE leaders have approached “reflection and resolution” within their own individual practice and wider organisational approaches, specifically addressing how to avoid burnout and be equipped to deal with stress.


    Polly Harrow, Assistant Principal Student Experience, Kirklees College and Chair of Executive Board, National Association for the Managers of Student Services (NAMSS) will interview a series of guests about how they’ve been on a journey of creating a culture change within their organisation.


    This programme is delivered by Association of Colleges, commissioned by the Education and Training Foundation on behalf of the Department for Education.
