What this toolkit is, and is not

It is an organisational management aid for structured leadership discussion. It is not a medical assessment, legal advice or a validated risk assessment, and it does not replace a proper HSE stress risk assessment. Its review questions have not been validated. Financial figures are gross resource exposure estimates, not cash savings or proof of return.

If the discussion surfaces something you would like an outside view on, an initial conversation is available. Please do not share individual health details.
