"Stress and burnout is becoming a huge issue"
Amy Brooks works near King's Lynn:
"There is a huge recruitment and retention crisis here, which is only being made worse with support staff often being the ones to go first.
"That all has an impact on workloads and children's quality of education. Stress and burnout is becoming a huge issue.
"There's now a real fear that many teachers have around whether they're going to be able to keep their job or whether they'll be made redundant".
