Stress

Across Great Britain, work-related stress accounts for over half (57%) of all working days lost to ll health.
In the last 12 months, over 600 000 workers reported suffering from stress, depression or anxiety, caused or made worse by work.
Stress affects us all at different times and in different ways. It can cause people to feel physically unwell, can cause mental health problems and can make existing problems worse.
It’s important to remember that it’s not an employer’s or a line manager’s job to diagnose or treat stress, whatever its cause. If an employee is having problems, it’s important that they get help as soon as possible.

If the school is aware of an employee that is showing signs of stress or off work due to stress then they should complete a risk assessment for that person.
