TeacherGuide

Community guidelines

The Staffroom is for teachers helping teachers. Keep it useful, respectful and safe.

What this space is for

Ask practical questions, share experience, recommend resources and discuss careers, conditions, behaviour, AI and teaching life.

Protect privacy

  • Do not identify pupils.
  • Do not share identifiable safeguarding information here.
  • Do not post confidential workplace details, disciplinary information or colleague names.
  • Prefer general descriptions over specifics that identify a school.

Safeguarding emergencies

TeacherGuide is not an emergency or safeguarding reporting channel. Use your school's designated safeguarding lead, local authority procedures or emergency services where required.

Not allowed

  • Harassment, threats, doxxing or discrimination
  • Spam, advertising or impersonation
  • Illegal material
  • Knowingly defamatory allegations
  • Dangerous advice presented as fact

Advice boundaries

Discussions about pay, pensions, contracts and conditions are peer experience — not professional financial or legal advice.
