The survey of 1,517 school leaders in England also found 92 per cent said their job had affected their sleep in the past year, 83 per cent reported increased stress, and 61 per cent said the job had affected their physical health."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech through investigations and documentaries such as 'The A Word' that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet avoids paywalls and seeks donations to fund reporters on the ground to maintain politically broad coverage. A survey of 1,517 school leaders in England by NAHT found 45% needed mental health support last year, 72% said their job had worsened their mental health, 92% reported sleep disruption, 83% increased stress and 61% physical health impacts.
