Abstract
Media attention has highlighted the risk of suicides among headteachers whose schools were downgraded by school inspectors. The authors emphasize the wider problem of mental ill-health among teachers. They argue that more should be done to protect and promote teachers’ mental health—starting with job-specific stress risk assessments. They also argue for a comprehensive review to understand and address the broad factors that place teachers and headteachers at increased risk of mental ill-health.
