How were these pages
developed?
This section of the website was developed with
the help of a steering group of experts, including psychiatrists
and other health professionals, service users, and their carers, as
well as people who work with employer organisations, including
small businesses to large national companies. It has been
tested by members of the College’s Service User Recovery and
Carer’s Forums, people working in or with employer organisations,
as well as experts in occupational health.
The resources have been chosen because of
their usefulness and accessibility, rather than as a result of
systematic review.
