Well-being support for Head Teachers

Norfolk Support Line is a confidential counselling and advice service, which schools can access by subscribing to HR services, or purchase as a stand-alone service. In view of the role of Head Teacher Support Advisor being made redundant in July 2014, Norfolk Support Line is now offering specific support for head teachers regarding their psychological well-being.

The service can be accessed through the free phone number, 0800 169 7676, and selecting option 6. The phone will be answered by a counsellor who has knowledge of the role of a head teacher and the specific issues head teachers are facing in Norfolk. As has always been the case, the service is confidential, but NCC will receive anonymous data on the usage of the service
