Sickness Absence

The University places a high value on the health and wellbeing of all its staff. We are keen to ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place to maximise the welfare of staff, limit the consequences for staff and the University when absences due to illness occur and to support staff through such periods with the aim of securing their return to work and ensuring appropriate support after that return.

• Sickness absence policy

For all periods of absence, including part days of absence, a University self-certification of sickness absence form must be completed and provided to your line manager.
