Occupational Health

Occupational health news in brief

Bullied clergy problem


Workplace bullying of the clergy, by both bishops and parishioners, is “rife”, according to the Unite union. It has set up a hotline for bullied clergy and is dealing with up to 150 cases a year, it has said. The union is lobbying for the law to be changed to offer clergy more protection because, as they are classed as self-employed office-holders, they are exempt from the protection offered by employment law, unable to claim unfair dismissal or seek protection under health and safety laws.


Health and safety grants


A new fund has been set up to enable small and medium-sized businesses to apply for grants of up to £50,000 a year to address health, safety and staff welfare problems. Proposals for the Health Work and Wellbeing Challenge Fund must be for a new project, with bidders able to apply for a grant from £1,000 in each year.


Health and Wellbeing at Work conference 2010


This year’s Health and Wellbeing at Work conference and exhibition will take place at the Birmingham NEC on 9-10 March. The event is aimed at HR and OH professionals, rehabilitation and therapy specialists, disability employment advisers, ergonomists and others responsible for the environment, health and wellbeing of working-age people.
