As I leave Optimus to begin a new role, I want to say thank you to everyone that I have worked with, both internally and externally. Please do support the fantastic work that @ZoeLlewellyn_OE is doing producing conferences for @OptimusEd moving forwards. It's been a pleasure :)
When it comes to wellbeing within schools, I read a lot about teachers and learners. What I would like to read more about is the wellbeing of teaching assistants, back office staff, lunch staff etc. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
With the rise of remote learning and the use of #EdTech there has been an obvious focus on #digitalwellbeing for students. I'd be very interested to hear from people about whether school staff's digital wellbeing is being taken into account and how it can be improved/supported.
Thank you @mindworkmatters for our latest blog on improving self-care. It was written prior to school closures last week, but building good self-care habits is going to be even more vital in the weeks ahead https://t.co/ua8LLQf3Og #staffwellbeing

There seems to be a lack of clarity around what the term warm/strict actually looks like in practice. I am looking to speak with people who have implemented such an approach successfully, with a view to potentially sharing their experiences at our #oeBehaviour conference in Feb.
