Dear Rev. Robert J

I am writing in reply to your request for information dated 22 September.

We have checked with our HR , student record, student assessments and occupational health departments in order to respond to your request. HR have been able to provide the information attached but the other departments do not keep figures relating to absences due solely to stress. Figures are not available either about students who have been granted provisions for exceptional circumstances due to stress.

To give you an example, the student record system can produce figures for students who were absent due to "illness" but specific reasons for the illness are not recorded on the system.

Please find attached the figures from the HR department. This is the number of people who cited stress as their reason for absence, as recorded in the University's HR system. Please be aware that if an individual had multiple absences due to stress in the same calendar year, they have only been counted once for that year and that if an absence started in one year and finished in the next, they have been included in both years.

If more general figures from the other departments would be of use to you, please let us know.

Yours sincerely

Kay Butcher
