Supervising Mental Health at Work

In the UK, employers have a legal responsibility to support mental wellbeing under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which require the assessment and management of work-related stress. Additionally, the Equality Act 2010 protects employees with mental health conditions. Supervisors and line managers play a vital role in recognising signs of poor mental health and promoting a supportive workplace culture. 

The Supervising Mental Health at Work course provides a practical introduction to building a mentally healthy workplace. Learn about the six core factors that contribute to work-related stress, how to recognise signs of poor mental health, and how to implement effective interventions. Discover how to conduct a mental health risk assessment, create action plans, and develop policies that promote wellbeing. The course also introduces the role of Mental Health First Aiders and offers practical steps for training, auditing, and embedding positive mental health practices across your organisation.
