Workplace stress and depression (FOI)

Request 

How many public workers have suffered significant workplace stress and/or depression caused by their jobs over the last 5 years and which has led to being signed off work as a result? 

Response

The current system does not specifically split out or record individuals who have suffered "significant workplace stress and/or depression caused by their jobs".  

The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 gives a right to request information that is held in recorded form, unless exempt. The information requested is not held and therefore Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.  

Article applied

For the purposes of this Law, information is held by a public authority if –
