The European Trade Union Committee for Education (ETUCE) has opened a call for external expertise on a Europe-wide survey on the impact of psycho-social factors on teachers.
The project is part of ‘Teachers’ work-related stress: European-wide Survey – Assessment, Comparison and Evaluation of the Impact of Psychosocial Factors on Teachers at their Workplace in the EU’ which is supported by the European Commission.
The aim of the survey is to provide reliable and useful statistics that will support teacher unions in their national social dialogue structures when dealing with, and setting up, concrete and sustainable strategies on health and safety in schools. The outcomes will focus on tackling and preventing work related stress which includes psycho-social hazards in risk assessment within schools.
It is anticipated that the project findings will support ETUCE member unions to become pro-active and include psycho-social hazards and work related stress in social dialogue processes and in collective agreements within their respective country.
The successful contractor will provide external expertise for the one year project to survey all countries in the EU/EFTA, and gather concrete and detailed data in a Europe-wide study on how work related stress affects grassroot level teachers.
