We are delighted to have launched the TQUK Level 2 Award in Emergency Response for Mental Health in the Workplace (RQF) here at Imperative Training. We understand that mental ill health is common and that the need for Mental Health First Aid is just as important as the need for Physical First Aid, especially in the workplace.
Every workplace has its own hazards, whether they are physical like trips and falls, or chemical hazards – both of which can cause serious harm to employees. No matter which hazards your workplace faces, there is a legal responsibility as an employer to protect employees and put their safety first.
Mental health is a topic of conversation that is being brought up in most workplaces across the UK, thanks to the introduction of mental health first aid. With Mental Health Awareness Week approaching this month, we’re exploring why business leaders should think about making mental health a priority in the workplace.
