New Career Choices for Muslim Women

On 20 October, the National Muslim Women’s Advisory Group launched 'Our choices: new careers for Muslim women', which is a website, booklet and roadshow featuring real stories of a police officer, fire officer, nurse, engineer, store manager, rugby player, trade union official, journalist, artist, scientist, entrepreneur and humanitarian worker. The aim is to raise aspirations of Muslim girls and give them the confidence to pursue their own dreams and ambitions. Click here to find out more.

Shift

Shift is the Department of Health-funded initiative to tackle stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health issues in England.

Shift has produced a Line Managers' Resource in partnership with the Department of Health, Department for Work and Pensions, Health and Safety Executive and Health Work Wellbeing. This Resource is a practical guide to managing and supporting people with mental health problems in the workplace. It supports the objectives of local authorities in that it offers practical advice on recruiting, retaining and supporting people with mental health problems, thereby promoting the mental health and wellbeing of staff and reducing discrimination.
