The State Labour Inspectorate (VDI), which supervises compliance with workplace safety requirements in Latvia, launched a thematic inspection of the 150 largest general education institutions across the country in October. The aim is to identify psychosocial risks in teachers' working environment, meaning workplace conditions that can affect educators' mental and emotional wellbeing.
Risks under review
The inspectorate is looking at several types of risk. These include stress, excessive workload, emotional abuse and problems in communication between colleagues at schools.
Why it matters
The inspection covers the largest general education institutions in different parts of Latvia, so it may give an overview of which psychosocial risks are common in teachers' work. The source does not say when the inspection will end or how its results will be used.
