Insurance Charities Awareness Week 20 -24 June, 2016

The Insurance Charities have a few events running during the awareness week. In London on the 21st and in Birmingham on the 22nd June they are hosting an event entitled ‘Managing mental health and developmental disability in the workplace’ aimed at anyone who manages staff in the insurance sector.

Sign up is free and currently places are available at both events so if you, or anyone in your network, would like to attend please get in touch. (And feel free to share this information with anyone you think may be interested). At these events there will be specialists from the sector discussing employing staff with mental health issues and disabilities, practical pointers for employers, the challenges faced and how these can be overcome.

Speakers from Autism Alliance and Depression Alliance (Mind) will be talking along with a first-hand case study on what it is like to work with depression. The London event is being held at the spectacular Minster Court, with fantastic views of the City. They will provide a buffet breakfast before the event. It runs from 8am – 10.30am.

The Birmingham event is being hosted at the Hotel Du Vin as part of the Birmingham CII’s lunchtime lecture series and lunch will be provided. It runs from 12.30pm to 2pm. On Thursday 23rd the London Phoenix Orchestra will be playing music from classic film scores at Cadogan Hall in London, and raising money in the process.
