Former A&E doctor Alex George, who after appearing ITV2 reality show Love Island became the government's mental health ambassador, has spoken out and called for change in the education system after the devastating news of the death of Ruth Perry, a head teacher at Caversham Primary School, who took her own life "while awaiting an Ofsted report".
As stated in reports since her death, the headteacher had been waiting for the results of an inspection visit in which leadership and management was the only aspect judged as inadequate. It would mean the school she lead would be downgraded from Outstanding to Inadequate (read more on that here).
Posting a picture of Ruth, the mental health author, podcaster and ambassador took to Instagram to write a powerful message in which he urged the "school approach" to include care for teachers and for less pressure to be put on them.
