Fit notes replaced the old 'Sick certificates' on April 2010. It has long been recognised that long periods out of work are associated with poor physical and mental health, as well as recognising that in most cases, an individual does not need to be 100% fit to return to work.

The new system of certification aims to facilitate an earlier return to work.

Learning outcomes

• Gain an understanding of the new certification rules
   
• Understand the obstacles delaying return to work
   
• Points to include when agreeing a return to work plan with employees

Who is this for?

HR and line managers, as well as safety advisors, facilities managers and union representatives.

Since the Equality Act 2010 took effect in October 2010, employers will need to carefully review their policies and procedures for disabled employees and prospective recruits who may have a disability. The Equality Act 2010 will bring together all legislation regarding discrimination under one piece of UK law including discrimination in regard to health previously covered under the Disability Discrimination Act. 

Learn more about the implications for your organisation by joining our Occupational Health Team for an informative seminar on 6th April 2011. Refreshments will be provided.
