Call for better support of staff with mental-health problems

The TUC has published guidance to help employers and unions support people with mental-health problems at work.

Produced with consultancy, Disability Forward, the report, ‘Representing and supporting members with mental-health problems at work’, urges unions to work with employers to encourage job applications from people with mental-health issues.

It also says individuals should be encouraged to disclose any mental-health problems they may have.

The report can be downloaded in PDF format from the link below.
