Education leadership avoid spending on clinical services
• Unwilling to accept feedback or adapt to clinical recommendations
• Poor understanding of clinical provisions and how to integrate them
• Constant pushback from senior leadership when trying to implement clinical work
• Poor staff wellbeing and support – the worst morale I’ve experienced in a workplace
• Hostile environment with no proper induction provided
• Big ideas at company level but no follow-through at school level
• Lack of understanding of how clinical services should operate, with no willingness to change
• Some teachers use outdated, non-neuroaffirming practices
• Very limited opportunities for support, shadowing, or professional development
• No clear development structure
• Left to run clinical services independently when other clinical staff left
• Education staff do not trust the clinical team and tend to micromanage
• Promised four-day working week that never materialised
• Most teachers and TAs are actively seeking other employment
