Construction mental health consultation
The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has launched a mental health in construction consultation.
CLC published this consultation after identifying mental health as a priority focus area at its Health Safety and Wellbeing Summit in July.
As part of CLC’s wider Health, Safety and Wellbeing Strategy, the aim of the project is to create an environment that fosters better mental health for the people that work in the UK construction industry.
The CLC held a series of focus groups across England, in partnership with Mates in Mind and the University of Warwick, to identify the primary root causes for poor mental health in construction.
The consultation:
- details those root causes and invites industry stakeholders for views on what can be done to eliminate or reduce them
- focuses on the measures that the construction industry can take to reduce the future likelihood of poor mental health in the sector
CLC want to hear your views and ambitions for how the industry can collectively come together to reduce or eliminate the challenges colleagues and friends are experiencing across the sector.
You can:
- complete the consultation, which is open until 5 November 2025
- visit the CLC website to read further information and to download a site poster
