|
|
A research report was published
yesterday on Mental Health and Employment. The study was designed to
address a gap in knowledge about the circumstances that lead people
to claim Incapacity Benefit because of a mental health condition,
and what factors contribute to people with mental health conditions
returning to work after a period on Incapacity Benefit. The study
also explored employers’ understanding and experience of dealing
with mental health conditions in the workplace.
Findings
The research was conducted during 2007 by the Social Policy Research Unit at the University of York and the Institute for Employment Studies. A copy of the report can be found at www.dwp.gov.uk� �
