There are two things that come to mind when you think of a sheriff. Either it's the lawman in a cowboy film, wearing a Stetson hat, a gold star on the chest and riding a horse. Or far more appropriately to the UK, the nasty and villainous Sheriff of Nottingham constantly thwarted by Robin Hood.
The role of High Sheriff has it roots in the latter, but as time has gone by, many of the original responsibilites have been shared across other roles. For example, the High Sheriff doesn't have to assemble a posse to chase down brigands anymore. Now the role is largely ceremonial, but nevertheless an important one, as it has been preserved purely to make a positive impact.
In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Maynard Burton explains exactly how the role of High Sheriff has evolved over the past thousand years to be something that benefits the county of Worcestershire.

When we talk about first aid we usually assume, and it’s easy to picture, physical first aid. Someone has received a workplace injury and needs to be immediately cared for, potentially before an ambulance turns up.
But what about mental health first aid? If your workplace has mental health first aiders, would you know when you should turn to them, and more importantly, would you?
In this episode of the What Do You Do? podcast, Wendy Garrett explains exactly what Mental Health First Aiders do, and just how they can support people in the workplace.

When it comes to ergonomics, Ergonomics Assessor Debbie Atkinson states it plainly;
"A lot of people don't think that ergonomics is a necessary thing to do."
After all, ergonomics is about comfort, and when we talk about comfort, we think about the soft side of it. We don't think about how discomfort can lead to headaches, back pain and other musculoskeletal issues. We don't think about how those things can then lead to lost productivity, or sick days (with as many as 7.1 million days lost each year).
But a few simple changes, at either the design stage, or later on in the work or home environment, can lead to increased comfort, physical wellbeing and productivity.
