Each trained team member is trained to spot the signs of mental ill health and provide initial support and non-judgmental, confidential listening to staff who need assistance. They also signpost to available support services and promote a workplace culture where staff are free to discuss mental health issues openly and feel supported by their colleagues.

Our Wellbeing Leadership Group, which includes team members from across the firm, are dedicated to promoting good mental health and wellbeing across the firm, regularly communicating initiatives, sharing best working practice, and raising the profile of our mental health first aiders.
Our firm became a signatory to the Mindful Business Charter and we have since launched our own version of the charter.
