Meaningful wellbeing CPD is here – we can make a difference together!
We know you understand how important wellbeing is for staff and how it directly impacts the outcomes of your pupils. But we also understand how hard it is for staff to take responsibility for their wellbeing themselves.
In the 2023 Teacher Wellbeing Index 35% of staff were experiencing symptoms of burnout – a worrying 7% rise on the previous year.
Prices start at just £12 per person and include the book, training videos and support.
Those working in education have largely chosen to do so because they want to help others, and this is then their downfall. They put others before themselves time after time and when they are so time poor, they struggle to understand that they need to look after themselves so they can help others.
Based on 6 years of research at University of Bristol and 12 months of commercial research by an education staff wellbeing specialist, The Diary Toolkit Project provides you and your staff with an easy to use yet comprehensive solution to personal wellbeing.
Comprising of a beautiful book, which is a cross between a traditional diary and a modern journal, and training videos to help your staff create and maintain healthy habits to show them how to manage their stress, build their resilience and celebrate the positives.
This all works in synergy with your existing staff wellbeing offer that you provide for your workplace to help retain staff and reduce absence through physical and mental illness.
In 2021, 1.5 million days were lost due to teacher stress and poor mental health and 44% of teachers plan to leave the profession by 2027 (FENews, 2022)
The Diary Toolkit – crafted BY educators FOR educators.
Our book is different. Diaries and wellbeing journals usually fall down for two reasons, they are either too prescriptive and you get bored of the same activity day after day, or it is too vague, and you are overwhelmed by a blank space after a long day at work.
So how about this instead.
The book
Containing a unique transition spinner to help you step into a more reflective frame of mind, and 21 interchangeable activities that show you the power of reflection and boost your wellbeing. The interchangeable pages help you create the perfect wellbeing solution for you.
Start with 10 minutes per week, and notice the difference that makes. Then try out different ways to fit it into every day, that 5-10 minutes will have a huge impact on your life.
The videos
We know that you want to support the wellbeing of your staff. But as you are not a wellbeing specialist you struggle to know what to put in place.
However we are wellbeing specialist, so let us do the hard work!
Our videos not only guide your staff through how to get the most out of their book, but also show them other ideas on how to prioritise their wellbeing enabling them to build a toolkit of support that is bespoke to them.
The videos are there for you to use however it suits you and your staff.
In a staff meeting, in team meetings, on training days.
Support
We will work with you to create a plan to implement this in the best and most impactful way for your staff and your school.
You choose how many staff to enrol, it can be a team such as ECTs, a leadership strand or the whole school.
You can pay with an invoice instead of our online shop to make it easier for your school finance team.
This process is meant to support wellbeing, not cause anyone any extra work or stress, so we’re here to help.

Why choose us?
The other part that is unique to us is our team. Dr Lucy Kelly, a PGCE Associate Professor at University of Bristol, has led the Reimagining the Diary research project for the last 6 years which focuses on how diary-keeping offers individuals the opportunity to download the day, celebrate the positives (however small) and gain perspective. Kimberley Evans, a primary school teacher, has helped impact thousands of education staff through Nourish the Workplace over the past 6 years. Providing surveys and advice across the education sector has given her a unique insight into the needs of education staff. Both are leading experts in the field of education wellbeing and are published authors and conference speakers.
The training videos that come with The Diary Toolkit Project are based on the research and expertise of Lucy and Kimberley and delivered in engaging and easy to access formats.
‘As someone who has been teaching for 27 years, and involved in supporting teachers at all stages of their careers, I know the importance of well-being. I am also a working mum of four. Life is busy, and teaching can be rewarding, but also stressful. I found that by using The Diary Toolkit I discovered new and varied ways of reflecting on my daily life.’
‘The toolkit has become a valuable part of taking stock: I complete The Diary Toolkit at the end of the day, and it really cuts down the amount of time I spent lying in bed with 101 thoughts swirling round my head. The variety of tasks is a really useful feature. Some work for me -others don’t – which is why it’s great to have the chance to customise the Toolkit to suit my mood.’
‘The Diary Toolkit really helped me find clarity, direction, and most importantly a sense of calm. It not only helped me stay organised but also made me reflect on my experiences as an educator. Every educator-in-the-making needs this toolkit.’
