This systematic review is designed to provide evidence-based answers to key questions related to mental ill health in the workplace. It is intended to assist managers, occupational health professionals and other interested parties in making management decisions and offering advice in the confidence that they are based on the most robust evidence available. It categorises common mental health problems as those that: occur most frequently and are more prevalent; are mostly successfully treated in primary rather than secondary care settings; and are least disabling in terms of stigmatising attitudes and discriminatory behaviour.

This research briefing draws on research, policy and guidance to summarise the evidence on what prevents people with mental health problems from working or retaining work in social care and what can be done to enable them to work. In particular it looks at evidence about discriminatory practice against people with mental health problems; and the evidence about recruitment and retention practices that can help in securing and retaining employment in the social care workforce. The implications for the policy community, practitioners, primary care, employees and for taking therapies are also provided.

A proliferation of recent literature provides substantial direction as to the key ingredients—target groups, messages and methods, and evaluation—of local-level, public interventions to counter stigma and discrimination. This paper provides a selective narrative review of that literature from the perspective or standpoint of anti-stigma experts with lived experience of mental distress, the key findings of which have been synthesised and presented in diagrammatic overviews (infographics). These are intended to guide providers in planning, delivering and evaluating lived experience-directed local-level, public interventions to counter stigma and discrimination in accord with current best practice.

Public tolerance of, and non-discrimination towards, people with mental health problems are key factors on which success in achieving the goal of community mental health care depends. This paper tests Thomas Scheff's sociological theory of mental illness through a critical review of recent U.K literature on the subject. The review suggests that negative representations predominate in the media, while a significant minority of the U.K public seem to possess negative attitudes towards people with mental health problems and their care and social participation in the community.
