• Promoting Mental Wellbeing through Productive and Healthy Working Conditions: Guidance for Employers
  03/12/2009
  The Department of Health (DH) asked the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) to produce public health guidance on promoting mental wellbeing through productive and healthy work.
  The guidance is for those who have a direct or indirect role in, and responsibility for, promoting mental wellbeing at work. This includes all employers and their representatives, irrespective of the size of the business or organisation and whether they are in the public, private, or voluntary sectors. It may also be of interest to professionals working in human resources or occupational health, employees, trade unions representatives and members of the public.
• SLAN Survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition in Ireland - Mental Health and Social Well-being
  03/03/2009
  This report presents the main findings on the mental health and social well-being of Irish adults from the 2007 Survey of Lifestyle, Attitudes and Nutrition (SLÁN 2007). The SLÁN 2007 survey, commissioned by the Department of Health and Children, involved face-to-face interviews at home addresses with 10,364 respondents (62% response rate), aged 18 years and over; full details are given in the SLÁN 2007 Main Report (Morgan et al, 2008). This sample was representative of the general population in Ireland and was further weighted, for the purpose of analysis, to match the Census 2006 figures. SLÁN 2007 is, therefore, the largest national survey to date on the extent of both positive and negative mental health and social well-being in the Irish adult population.
• Dame Carol Black’s Review of the Health of Britain’s Working-Age Population – Summary of Evidence Submitted
  25/02/2009
  In 2007, the Secretaries of State for Health and for Work and Pensions commissioned the National Director for Health and Work, Dame Carol Black, to undertake the first ever review of the health of Britain’s working age population. Dame Carol announced a Call for Evidence at a round-table event with leading business and medical professionals in October 2007. This was held in London and chaired by the two Secretaries of State.
  Responses to the Call for Evidence were invited through the Health, Work and Well-being website (www.workingforhealth.gov,uk), and promoted in a variety of media at the national and regional level. They were further supplemented by six discussion events held across Britain during November 2007.
• Dame Carol Black’s Review of the Health of Britain’s Working-Age Population – Working for a Healthier Tomorrow
  25/02/2009
  Improving the health of the working age population is critically important for everyone, in order to secure both higher economic growth and increased social justice.
  The Review has sought to establish the foundations for a broad consensus around a new vision for health and work in Britain. At the heart of this vision are three principal objectives:
  • prevention of illness and promotion of health and well-being;
  • early intervention for those who develop a health condition; and
  • an improvement in the health of those out of work – so that everyone with the potential to work has the support they need to do so.

The review will inform policy and guide action in relation to health and employment.
