answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>We are taking action in a number of areas that teachers inform us are the key to reducing workplace stress, including eliminating unnecessary workload. We are working extensively with unions, teachers and Ofsted to challenge practices that create unnecessary workload, and we will continue to look for ways to support the profession on this important issue.</p><p>Following the Stevenson/Farmer Review, which highlighted the importance of public sector employers supporting employee wellbeing, we are currently considering the evidence and what more we can usefully do to support teachers’ wellbeing. We are promoting a whole school approach to mental health, including pupils and staff. In the Transforming Children and Young People’s Mental Health Green Paper we set out plans to incentivise schools to put in place designated senior mental health leads, trained to set up and oversee whole school approaches.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 20/12/2017 17:52:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>The Department is working with Ofsted to tackle the drivers of unnecessary workload at national level. We recognise the importance of assessing the impact that its policy changes have on teachers' workload and job satisfaction. The Department for Education Protocol sets out commitments to provide schools with a year’s lead time for any changes to accountability, the curriculum and qualifications, and to take into account the workload impact on schools of such changes.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s ‘workload action plan’, published in February 2017 alongside the results of the 2016 Teacher Workload Survey, sets out the steps we will take to continue to tackle workload at all levels of the education system. Ofsted has carried out a range of activity to support workload reduction: its recently published strategy includes a commitment to seek to reduce regulatory burdens, streamline inspection process and tackle the workload side effects of inspection. These commitments align with the Government’s commitment to reduce the burdens of inspection.
