Your Legal Duty of Care
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, employers have a statutory duty to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of all employees. Failure to manage psychosocial risks can lead to enforcement action by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 mandates that employers conduct suitable and sufficient risk assessments of all workplace hazards, including work-related stress. Non-compliance with these requirements leaves organisations vulnerable to legal prosecution and civil claims.
The Equality Act 2010 requires employers to make reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities, including long-term mental health conditions. Aligning workplace practices with the Mental Health Charter ensures systemic compliance and proactive risk mitigation against potential litigation.
Qualifications & Career Impact
Livius Training delivers MHFA England accredited courses ranging from Mental Health Aware to the two-day Mental Health First Aider certification. These courses are designed for designated first aiders, HR professionals, and line managers who require formal training to support staff effectively.
Certificates are valid for three years, after which refresher training is required to maintain competency in modern mental health practices. Participation ensures that trained staff can recognise the early signs of mental health distress and provide appropriate signposting to professional support services.

Organisations with certified staff benefit from reduced absenteeism, higher employee engagement, and improved retention rates by fostering a supportive culture.
