As employees, we are all responsible for managing our own health and wellbeing.

Managers and the council as a whole, are responsible for supporting the health and wellbeing of all staff and for creating a culture of good health and wellbeing.

Unfortunately, there will still be times when an individual is unable to attend work due to sickness. How we manage this should be a continuation of our every day approach to health and wellbeing.
