Focus on Mental Wellbeing
Helping Community Clubs deliver key messages about Mental Health
Improving Mental Health outcomes for players, staff, volunteers, and supporters is at the top of the agenda in all sports from Grassroots to the Professional game.
Meritec has partnered with David Beeney, of Breaking the Silence to create a unique digital e-awareness course that allows sports clubs of all shapes and sizes to improve Mental Wellbeing awareness right across their staff and communities.

Testimonials
Meritec have been great to work with, professional and quick with their service. The 30-minute awareness course is interactive, personable and provides a general awareness of the importance of looking after your mental health, spotting signs in others & the support networks available. Being able to add Staffordshire specific personalisation (images, branding, wording) makes the course more tailored to our team and customers which we really liked!

Equality Officer, Staffordshire FA
Meritec have been great to work with, they listened to our needs and designed a package that works for the charity financially. We have managed to break new ground in sport and to complement our work. The feedback has been massively positive across our different audiences and I would recommend working alongside Meritec again

Nurse Consultant / Co-founder State of Mind Sport
I would urge every organisation, big or small, to make this course available to its people. Early intervention in a kind and supportive environment is key to prevention and the long term wellbeing of employees. As a mental health practitioner for the past 17 years I have seen many, many people struggle more than they needed to because support and empathy wasn’t available when it most mattered. The truth is, we all need support at some time in our lives. This will go a long way to addressing that and help change perceptions of mental health for the better.

The key to anti-fraud culture for housing associations
Fraud is currently the most common crime in England and Wales, accounting for almost 40% of all crimes reported. It’s estimated that the UK loses around £190 billion to fraud each year, and £1.8 billion of this figure can be attributed to housing tenancy fraud alone.

Fraud and Cyber Crime – distinctly different or intrinsically linked?
Although fraud and cybercrime are often lumped together in terms of risk management, they are distinctly different. Not all fraud is committed online, and not all online crimes involve fraud.

How creating the right organisational culture can prevent internal fraud and cybercrime
When you have a good organisational culture, you create an environment where employees feel invested in the company’s success and want to protect it. Because they want to protect it, they are more likely to identify and report threats.
