This research investigates the wellbeing support frameworks available to teachers and examines how these supports influence professional outcomes, including job satisfaction, professional engagement, retention, and overall occupational wellbeing. The study will explore the types of formal and informal strategies implemented within educational settings, how they are experienced by teachers, and the extent to which they contribute to sustainable professional practice.

Adopting a cross-border perspective, the research will involve collaboration across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, enabling comparative insights into policy contexts, institutional approaches, and systemic supports. By examining similarities and differences across jurisdictions, the study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how wellbeing frameworks can effectively support teachers in diverse educational environments and inform future policy and practice development.
