Mental Wellbeing in the Department
As an employer we recognise that, in the UK, people experiencing mental ill health continue to report stigma and discrimination. We are committed to creating a supportive and open culture, where colleagues are able to talk about mental health. We are also committed to ensuring that our employees feel safe in disclosing any mental health conditions and confident that they will be properly supported and offered reasonable adjustments when required. The University of Oxford has signed the Mindful Employer’s Charter for employers who are positive about mental health, and as a department we prioritise the mental health of our community.
The Department has a number of trained Mental Health First Aiders who you can contact.
Aside from the Mental Health First Aiders, there are also a range of support options available to access through the University.
