Following on from Mental Health Awareness Week this month, we can reflect back on the fantastic initiatives’ organisations have run to highlight the importance of mental health.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is focused on protecting consumer interest in terms of how the rule of law and the administration of justice is delivered. Any law firm or practising solicitor could appear on the SRA’s radar at any time regarding areas of compliance, which could result in a visit as part of the regulator’s Thematic Review programme.
Most law firms consistently do their best to ensure they achieve the highest possible professional standards, embed ethical values within their businesses and remain fully compliant with their regulatory obligations. Most of the people at the law firms we speak to, even if they haven’t yet had an SRA visit, know the SRA is a very active regulator, and taking short cuts or box-ticking is a very short-sighted approach to compliance management. But some firms are not so well-prepared and often reach out for help.

If there could be such a thing as a positive outcome from Covid-19, it’s that workplace safety, health and wellbeing has been elevated to a tier one consideration for many organisations and its individuals. Which is really where it always should have been.
The key to creating a physically and mentally healthier workplace culture however, is to not treat responses to occupational health and safety risk with quick fixes, to try and plaster over specific challenges.
Health and safety training is often the biggest tick-box for compliance, but how do you embed training into the rest of your health and safety risk management processes to effectively manage health and safety risk and evidence compliance when it matters?
