Educators

What is an educator?
“Educator” is an inclusive term to describe all staff working in early learning services and schools whose role is to educate children and young people. This includes leaders and support staff.
As an educator, we know you’re already working hard to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. Be You helps you develop and expand your existing strategies and shows you other practical ways to support children and young people to create mentally healthy learning communities.
