We would like to remind you that there are ways we can support you, which includes speaking to your line manager, visiting our staff wellbeing hub for access to information, resources and specialist services or if you need urgent mental health support, please see our website and the urgent help pages which include numbers for the crisis lines, and other immediate support numbers.
We know following the tragic incident in Southport and the frightening incidents and disturbances that have followed including acts of racism and islamophobia, that many colleagues have been reaching out to support colleagues, service users, carers and volunteers. Showing you care, offering support and a listening ear – these are small things to do but the impact can be huge and help to create a sense of belonging at a time when many people may feel isolated. We have produced a guide, designed to help start a conversation about racism or islamophobia.
Additional support for managers
We will be holding several CPD sessions to support managers. Please join us for further guidance and support.
