<p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is committed to ensuring staff with
mental health problems do not face any barriers to success. The Department has a dedicated
senior equalities champion who sits on the Department's Executive Board and provides
an insight for all protected characteristics as well as an equalities network. DExEU
has recently run mental health first aid training to ensure that support is in place
should staff experience mental illness. The Department is committed to the steps established
in the 2016 Talent Action Plan to help the Civil Service become the most inclusive
employer in the UK.<br><br>Due to the small numbers of staff affected the Department
is unable to release this information as disclosure would contravene one of the data
protection principles. As part of the Transparency Agenda, the Department will publish
quarterly statistics on sickness absence and these will be available on the department’s
website.<strong> <br></strong></p>
