There’s a growing need to support mental health in the workplace; particularly for those working in the education sector.  As a Trust we have made a commitment to meet the Mental Health at Work Standards which is a simple framework that builds on what is known from the Thriving at Work standards, pulling from the pledges and standards that are already out there, using up-to-date research, from UK employers and mental health experts.

Organisations who sign the commitment are leading the way in implementing each standard for their people.  But beyond that, it’s a way of showing our values. By signing Liberty Academy Trust up to the Commitment, we have declared publicly that mental health at work is a priority for us.  As we continue to work towards all 6 standards, we will be drawing on the support of colleagues across the Trust and reporting on our progress through this page.
