CLC launches construction mental health consultation

The CLC held a series of focus groups across England, in partnership with Mates in Mind and the University of Warwick, to identify the primary root causes for poor mental health in construction. The consultation details those causes and invites stakeholders across the industry for their views on what can be done to eliminate or reduce them.

Mark Reynolds, Co-Chair of the CLC, said:

As leaders in the built environment and construction sector, we have a collective responsibility to our workforce to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of our people.

By working in partnership and being ambitious, we can drive improvements in mental health across the sector, ensuring a positive working environment for our current and future workforce.

Today's consultation is a vital step in that journey, enabling us to bring together the views of industry in this space to inform our public Spring 2026 action plan. I would encourage you to respond and give us your views.

The consultation is open until 5 November and can be completed here.
