As a society we are living longer. One consequence of this is many of us are working longer. This means that many staff will have long term conditions and it is important to manage these conditions well.
For some time now we have been promoting the Access to Work Mental Health Support Service, delivered by Remploy, funded by the Department for Work and Pensions. This service provides confidential one-to-one workplace mental health support for staff. It can be really useful in helping staff to manage a mental health or long-term medical condition that may be causing distress.
We provide a great deal of support for staff which we continue to develop. However, we are aware there will always be cases where it is difficult to get the most appropriate support.
It should be noted that there is no obligation for individuals to share information that has been discussed with this service.
We all acknowledge that support works best where all parties are open and honest and, ultimately, HR can only advise on the information we receive.
Staff who wish to access remote support should call 0300 456 8114. Or email chris.kingsbury@remploy.co.uk
