The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not keep statistics on reported cases of work-related stress, nor on sickness absences related to stress.
We attach importance to identifying and tackling causes of stress in the workplace. We published detailed guidance earlier this year for all staff and managers on recognising and dealing with occupational stress. Staff are able to discuss work-related or personal concerns with a trained welfare officer. In addition we provide access for staff both in the UK and overseas to a confidential telephone counselling and advice service.
