Blue Light Trauma Awareness and Management
Introduction
This document focusses on the preventative strategies and methods that organisations can use to provide post traumatic or critical incident interventions internally to its own people with the intention of preventing psychological ill health.
Blue Light organisations continue to operate under extreme pressures which, year on year, seem to become even more demanding. The struggle to deliver optimum performance must not be at the expense of psychological wellbeing of staff.
Unfortunately, research by mental health charities including Mind have found that poor mental health is growing within all branches of the emergency services.
Some of the research findings are quite staggering with some 65% of police staff, 61% of Fire Service staff and 70% of Ambulance Service staff reporting personal experience of mental health problems during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Organisations that operate within these environments are becoming more and more aware that a failure to manage employee’s mental health can result in a failure to discharge their legal duties under legislation such as the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Supporting employees can assist in asserting that an organisation is committed to satisfying its legal, moral, and ethical responsibilities.
