Written Question
Mental Illness
Tuesday 10th March 2015

Asked by: Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat - Sutton and Cheam)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department has taken to reduce mental health stigma and discrimination as a result of signing up to the Time to Change Pledge.

Answered by Lord Maude of Horsham

The Cabinet Office takes the issue of mental health discrimination seriously and is taking action to ensure that it provides an environment that supports the mental wellbeing of its staff.

Since signing the Time to Change pledge a senior mental health and wellbeing champion has been appointed. Activity has included: improving staff accessibility to support by revamping information in our induction packs and the intranet; creating and circulating guidance for managers on responding to mental health issues; encouraging discussions across the Cabinet Office by running a ‘Time to Talk’ day; and creating new opportunities for staff and managers to access mental health training.
