Online stress and violence survey
The NEU provides online stress and violence surveys to help local officers and reps gather evidence on stress and violence levels in schools. These surveys are designed to identify the causes and impacts of such issues. The collected data can be used as evidence for school management when considering industrial action.
If you would like to share a survey with members of your school, please complete the request form, specifying whether you need a stress survey or a violence survey.

What can help me stay happy and healthy?
Work-related stress is extremely prevalent within the teaching profession and can lead to health problems such as depression, anxiety and insomnia. Employers must risk assessing workplaces, including establishing and addressing the causes of work-related stress.
Mental health conditions are common, so no one should feel isolated or stigmatised for seeking help. Early intervention is recognised as facilitating recovery, so if there are signs of a developing mental health condition, consider seeking help at the earliest opportunity.
Employees with mental health conditions may be classed as disabled under the Equality Act 2010, and if this is the case, employers have duties to make ‘reasonable adjustments’.
