Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Board received the report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services and noted the Business Healthy initiative that aimed to bring together City businesses in achieving positive change for the health and wellbeing of City workers.

Members noted that Business Healthy began in 2014 and ran two expert-led events per year, and two member forum meetings. This year the City of London Corporation had launched a website as a central point of contact for the Business Healthy members and a source of up-to-date research, articles and reports. An event focused on mental health in the workplace, hosted by the Lord Mayor at Mansion House, was also being planned for September 2015.

Officers agreed to circulate a briefing note to Members regarding the focus of the event. Members agreed that the event should be publicised to all City firms.

Resolved – that the update be received.
