We want to hear your views. 

The Welsh Government is developing a Strategic Education Workforce Plan which will set out how we will support teachers, leaders, teaching assistants and professionals supporting learners in our schools in the coming years. The Cabinet Secretary for Education has set out that the plan will focus on four key areas:

• Supporting our workforce to deliver quality teaching and learning to improve outcomes for learners
• Addressing workload issues
• Responding to new challenges for the school workforce and ensuring access to support through a specialist workforce
• Ensuring that teaching, leadership and supporting teaching remains an attractive career pathway.
   

The well-being of staff will be a key consideration across all four areas.

We are looking to gather your views through this short survey that will collect information on key areas impacting you and your role, including your wellbeing, workload, the support available to you and your thoughts on what could change. This will help set future direction for policy makers and shape the actions we will take with our key partners.

The survey is anonymous and should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete. It will remain open until 28 November 2025 

If you are part of the specialist workforce, please complete a separate survey which can be found at https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/AE7K61/
