A sabbatical report is a document typically submitted by an individual after completing a sabbatical, which is a period of  leave granted for the purpose of rest, research, or personal/professional development. The report provides a detailed account of the activities, accomplishments, and outcomes achieved during the sabbatical. 

​

Key elements of a sabbatical report often include:

1. Introduction: An overview of the sabbatical's purpose and goals.

2. Objectives: A summary of the intended outcomes or research aims at the start of the sabbatical.

3. Activities: A detailed description of the work done during the sabbatical, such as research conducted, projects completed, courses taken, or travel undertaken.

4. Findings/Results: A summary of what was learned, discovered, or accomplished.

5. Impact: Reflection on how the sabbatical experience contributed to personal and professional growth and how it might benefit the organisation or field.

6. Recommendations/Next Steps: Suggestions or plans for future work or how the sabbatical’s outcomes will be applied moving forward.

7. Conclusion: Final thoughts on the overall experience.

​​

The purpose of a sabbatical report is to provide accountability and insight into how the time away was used and to demonstrate the value of the sabbatical to the individual's professional development or academic field.
