Why You Shouldn’t Introduce New Wellbeing Initiatives Until You’ve Conducted a School Scan with Adrienne Hornby | Episode 22

The foundation for problem-solving lies in gaining a thorough understanding of the issue at hand. By delving deep into the problem, we can develop effective solutions that address the root causes rather than merely providing temporary fixes.

In this episode, I introduce a concept called the “school scan of wellbeing.” This exercise involves examining various pieces of data to uncover valuable insights and shed light on the underlying problems within a school and their potential causes.

I cannot stress enough the significance of this initial step before implementing new initiatives aimed at improving staff wellbeing. When we overlook this crucial phase, we often resort to tokenistic measures that lack the power to bring about lasting change. This approach can prove immensely frustrating for both leaders and staff, as it fails to produce tangible, long-term improvements.

By prioritising a thorough understanding of the problem through the school scan of wellbeing, we lay the groundwork for meaningful transformations and ensure that our efforts are not in vain.

In this episode, we cover:

• What a scan is and why we do it
• The benefits of conducting a school scan
• How to scan your school 
• What to do with the information from your school scan
