Wellbeing Support for Staff

Confidential Care is an independent, free and completely confidential advice service, run by CiC, which is available to you and your family members. From management challenges at work to relationship difficulties at home, from legal problems to family dilemmas, they are only a phone-call away.

The service – known as an 'Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)' - is staffed by a range of highly experienced consultants, including counsellors, psychotherapists, solicitors and financial experts, all qualified to give you clear, relevant guidance on the challenges you face. Counselling is one of the forms of support that is available (up to six sessions), which you can access by phoning the helpline: 0800 085 1376.
