I have looked in the text of the DDA, and although there is mention of recurring mental ilness, it does not specifically state depression, nor is the 5 year time scale mentioned.
Does anyone know the source of this information, and where it may be obtained?
Many Thanks....DEAN.

Stress in the workplace is and continues to be a contentious issue.
Whilst we are always careful here at Workplace Law not to turn this forum in to a vehicle to advertise our courses and products I felt I should bring to your attention the stress management courses that we run.
For further information please contact me at neil.mcdiarmid@workplacelaw.net or call on 01223 431 058 and I'll be happy to help.

Carolyn,
I don't know that this is necessarily a success story as such, but I heard of a situation where it was agreed that a person would only be able to return from sick leave for depression if the work that person did was up to date when they returned. This was requested by the doctor.
This seems eminently sensible, as one of the biggest problems with someone off on depression is the concern of coming back to the same degree of work (or more) that caused them to be off in the first place? Which then leads to more depression and completes the cycle. They are probably even expecting to be depressed.
This seemed a very straightforward and sensible approach to encourage the staff member to return in a positive frame of mind I thought?

Has anyone had any real success in dealing with stress in the workplace? I am concerned about recurring stress levels, and feel worried that employees who have previously suffered carry a "fear" of recurrence which can in fact bring on the symptoms again when the pressure of work increases by only small amounts.
We have a situation like this, and I am anxious that whilst we are taking positive steps to alleviate pressure on all employees, those with a history of stress / depression may not benefit from these advances due to this "internal pressure". Has anyone any success stories to help me ont eh way with this one?
