We are a Mindful Employer

This is another improvement Sarah Goodwin our FAIR Lead (Fairness Accessibility and Inclusion) is championing. Well done Sarah and thank you. About the Mindful Employment Charter The Charter for Employers Positive About Mental Health is about recognising those employers who are committed to supporting mental health at work - no matter where they may be in that journey - and it is about helping those employers to achieve this goal. Signing the Charter is completely voluntary, and unlike other accreditations or quality standards, it does not require your organisation to have already met specific benchmark criteria. Instead, by signing the Charter, your organisation will be making a public declaration of your ambition to support the mental health and wellbeing of your staff by agreeing to uphold the following values: To provide non-judgemental and proactive support to staff with experience of mental ill-health. To avoid making assumptions about a person with a mental health condition and their ability to work. To be positive and enabling toward all employees and applicants with a mental health condition. To support line managers in managing mental health in the workplace. To ensure the fair recruitment of staff in accordance with the Equality Act (2010). To make it clear that people who have experience of mental ill-health will not be discriminated against.
