Statistics show that a staggering 70 million workdays are lost each year due to mental health problems in the UK, costing employers approximately £2.4bn per year. In the social care sector this can be seriously detrimental to employers, the rest of the workforce and those who are being cared for.
Most care workers’ situations are never isolated and will fall between multiple different circumstances which could include domestic violence, breakdown in relationships and having to isolate because of Covid-19, all contributed to a loss of income being the most common circumstance care workers found themselves in with 34% of all crisis grants awarded citing this as a reason.
