</p><p><strong>Notes</strong>: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD)
(version 10) uses the ICD code PSD Mental and Behavioural Disorders to register medical
conditions of stress. This code also covers other conditions within this category.</p><p>Figures
exclude the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and Locally Employed Civilians for whom no data
is available.</p><p>The reduction in sick absence in FY 2012-13 is due to MOD personnel
leaving the Department through a voluntary early release scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Civilian
Sickness Absence data has been published on the GOV.UK website since January 2016
and the latest available edition can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/mod-civilian-sickness-absence-financial-year-201617"

</p><p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) takes the health and wellbeing of its personnel
very seriously. The Department’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy for all MOD employees,
military and civilian, is designed to provide guidance to the Chain of Command and
civilian line managers on how to manage the health needs, both mental and physical,
of their people. The aim is to maximise the number of people fit to work, managing
people back to work after a period of sickness, so that they are fit and able to meet
the requirements of Defence outputs, including operational effectiveness. In 2017,
the Department also launched its Defence People Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy
2017 – 2022 with a four-step plan of implementation; promotion, prevention, detection
and treatment.</p><p> </p><p>All civilian staff can access the Department’s Employee
Wellbeing Service which offers emotional support and advice on life events as well
as counselling services. In addition, the Speak Safe helpline provides a safe space
to discuss issues relating to bullying, harassment and discrimination. The Department
also has over 2000 civilian and military Mental Health First Aiders, each of whom
has completed a two-day course delivered in accordance with the requirements of Mental
Health First Aid England (or equivalent).</p><p> </p>
