FOI Request - Sickness Absence Among Teachers

Request 101003983963

NASUWT members have expressed concerns about increased levels of sickness absence
among teachers, which are often identified as stress-related.

In this context, we are keen to establish what the absence picture looks like at individual
Councils and what they are doing to support teachers.

Therefore, we would be grateful if you could provide NASUWT with the following information:

a) Levels of teacher absence in relation to other Council workers;

b) Evidence of any preventative health and wellbeing support available to teachers and
how this is communicated;

c) Any data you possess on the work satisfaction of teachers.
