Number of those signed off has risen in last three years
Nearly 90 teaching staff on Island were signed off work due to stress or mental health matters in a one-year period up until last month.
In the House of Keys today, the education minister stated 43 primary staff and 45 secondary or UCM staff were absent for those reasons between March 2022 and February this year.
That compares to 69 staff being given time off for the same reason during the twelve months before that, and 49 employees between March 2020 and February 2021.
Julie Edge was asked today what government is doing to tackle these rising numbers:
DoI to change rent-setting model for public sector housing
Candidates could need to declare interests to stand in 2026 General Election
Customs and Excise office to relocate
Douglas man convicted in Island's 'most complex child abuse image investigation'
