Learn from good practice NHS organisations have developed to reduce stigma and discrimination and deliver the cross government target PSA 16. Find out what NHS Employers is doing to support employers and take back tools to help increase employment opportunities for adults in contact with secondary mental health services.
See next session in this strand: Equality Act – all for one and one for all
NHS Employers are working together with the Department of Health, NHS Confederation, and the National Mental Health Development Unit to support NHS organisations in improving employment rates for one of the four groups that make up PSA 16 i.e. adults in contact with secondary mental health services.
To help us in this task we are asking employers to complete a short online survey to provide us with information on your present position on this topic. The information you provide will help to make sure that our work supports your needs in delivering PSA16.
