Mental health: employer responsibilities and the law


Understanding duty of care and the support employers can provide

Employers have a duty of care that includes a legal responsibility to support their employees’ mental health and wellbeing.

This training provides essential insights into what the employers responsibilities are, the benefits of making positive changes and the risks of not adapting policies to support employees struggling with their mental health.

We will outline practical steps that employers can take to make a lasting and beneficial impact.

We will provide a clear overview of the legislation relating to mental health and mental health conditions, in addition to the business and human cases for fostering a positive mental health culture at work.

This session will draw from the Acas framework for positive mental health, a holistic model which details the key responsibilities of the employer, the manager and the individual in contributing to a healthy and productive workplace.
