Through its Minds Matter Survey, launched today, the Pre-School Learning Alliance is seeking to find out whether working in the early years affects mental health.
The survey asks practitioners to name sources of stress, whether work has led to the development of health conditions, if they have taken time off because of stress and mental health difficulties and if they have considered leaving the sector because of this.
The deadline for responses is 5pm on Friday 11 May. All responses will be anonymous and confidential.
Results from the survey will be revealed at the Alliance’s annual member conference on Friday 1 June, which this year will focus on the mental health and well-being of children and practitioners in the early years sector. Speaking at the conference is former director of communications for Tony Blair and mental well-being advocate Alastair Campbell.
