In the last six months just over 24 per cent of calls have been around ‘Personal Issues' including relationships and family. This is closely followed by calls on ‘Working Conditions' with 23 per cent of calls and including performance and pay, legal issues and workload. ‘Careers' calls accounted for 15.5 per cent, followed by ‘People Skills' with 13.8 per cent, including relationships with adults at work, bullying and harassment.

Advisors are on hand to offer emotional support along with practical advice including our specialist money advisors.

In addition to this we have a website dedicated to teachers in Wales where you can find a range of information including the latest news and updates affecting the teaching profession.

We have over 1,300 factsheets available, with an additional 400 in the Welsh language, offering information on a range of topics. Simply type your key words into a search box to see any matching factsheets. Try it out by clicking here or click here for Welsh language.

All our telephone services are offered bilingually and all our services are free of charge. We're here to support all teachers, from trainees as you progress in your career and right up to those who have retired. Call us any time and in confidence on 0800 085 5088.

Help us spread the word

Many hundreds of teachers have been supported by us through their experiences in their teaching career and we would like to reach many more. We rely on our supporters to help spread the word and tell others about the free services we offer.

If you are a teacher in Wales why not tell all your colleagues about us and download one of our posters for your staffroom or request some free materials for your school:

You can also spread the word by forwarding our e-newsletter to any of your colleagues who might be interested or encouraging them to sign up for our free e-newsletter on our website, here.
