Materials for review


Shift Review Panel graphic

If you have produced, or are still working on, material to help employers deal with mental health issues at work, we can help you.

About the panel

The Shift Review Panel reviews and assesses the quality and impact of materials designed to help employers promote mental wellbeing and manage mental ill health in the workplace.

The panel consists of experts from the field of employment and mental health covering the private, public and academic worlds. It is chaired by Dr Bob Grove, director of the employment programme at the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health.

The review panel is funded by Shift, but works independently.

How we can help you

If you are working on, or have produced material designed to help employers deal with mental health issues at work, we can help by:
  • Offering you a free, confidential and voluntary service.
  • Reviewing the materials you send (whether in draft form or published) for their clarity, accuracy, style and relevance to employers.
Material will be reviewed on the understanding that it will be available to employers and can be distributed widely.

The panel would especially like to receive material before it is published so that we can help you to improve it.

We will send you the completed confidential review for your information. With your permission, the review will be posted on the Shift website.

At this stage we are seeking materials that help employers in three ways:
  • Creating a mentally healthy workplace
  • Early identification, prompt action and job retention when people first experience mental distress
  • Supporting employees who have become unwell and helping them to return to work.
