Support at work.

PEOPLE with mental health problems will receive extra support to help them stay in the workplace, Government announced. A series of pilot schemes have proved to be successful in helping people with fluctuating mental health conditions retain their jobs. The Government will extend the support on offer, welfare minister Jim Knight said.

Measures introduced by Government, including a strategy for Mental Health and Employment, will detail expectations of employers, healthcare professionals, organisations and individuals in improving wellbeing in the workplace. The Access to Work fund will double to pounds 138m over the next five years.
