Aim: This webinar will provide you with advice and practical guidance on recruiting and retaining a headteacher aligned with government guidance, including the recruitment process and what to do when it becomes challenging, and how to effectively support a new headteacher and keep great leaders in your educational setting. 

Rationale: The Governance handbook describes the appointment of an executive leader as ‘a pivotal decision in an organisation’s life’, and states that it is crucial that ‘a board has the skills it needs to carry out a thorough and effective selection process’. The handbook also underlines governing boards’ responsibility to support the mental health and wellbeing of the setting's leadership team and staff.
