Asked by: Helen Whately (Conservative - Faversham and Mid Kent)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what measures her Department has in place to support those of its staff who have mental health problems.

Answered by Phillip Lee

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Wellbeing Strategy, launched in November 2015, sets out MoJ’s commitment to supporting the mental and physical wellbeing of all our staff.

Employees can find additional information and signposting to the support available on internal Wellbeing pages on the MoJ intranet, and can seek advice and peer support from the MoJ Disability Staff Networks. In addition our independent Employee Assistance Provision provides confidential counselling sessions for employees, 24 hour telephone support, coaching for managers, mediation and group counselling.
