FVWL RIC Health and Wellbeing Survey

Health and Wellbeing is very much at the forefront of our minds in the light of our current situation. There is a plentiful supply of Staff Health and Wellbeing resources circulating currently and Forth Valley and West Lothian RIC want to find out your current knowledge of these, alongside how valid these are for you. We also want to know how you are interacting with these resources/initiatives.

The results of the survey will drive forward access to resources that are meaningful to you and provide a bank of relevant sources which will all be available, in one place, on our FVWL RIC HWB Blog Space. The results will also inform us of any CLPL that needs to be offered by our RIC, ensuring that it is bespoke to your health and wellbeing needs.

The closing date for the survey is 28th February 2022 and can be accessed using the link below. Your participation with this survey is very much appreciated.
