Working with the Targeted Prevention Unit in the Mental Health Directorate (which includes the Suicide Prevention policy team and the Social Determinants team), undertake a review of existing evidence to determine which sectors and workplace settings have the highest risk factors associated with, or contributing to, poor mental health and/or suicide and the reasons for this. This will include a review of existing literature examining evidence from Scotland and the UK, as well as reviewing available sources of evidence from groups and panels involved in the Suicide Prevention Scotland delivery collective. It may will also involve some direct stakeholder engagement through networks and advisory groups You would be supported by both policy teams within the unit who would be able to help connect you up with relevant stakeholders, groups and signpost to existing evidence that we are already aware of.
Anticipated outputs of the project would be a final report and presentation to Scottish Government policy teams summarising the evidence from the review and drawing conclusions on the key sectors and workplace settings identified as having the greatest potential risks associated with or contributing to poor mental health and/or suicide. This should also draw conclusions on the factors contributing to this within these sectors and workplace settings. Regular progress update points would be agreed at the beginning of the project.
