You won't be able to do it through a Freedom of Information act request as they are refusing any since 16 Oct. You may be able to get your MP to ask a question in the HoC, or in a committee. Beyond that I have no idea.

The stress levels in our office are high , it's a shame the royal mails came to this .

very high I would think

So if they can just refuse what they like through a Freedom of Information act request. Whats the point of the Freedom of Information act?

The Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) only applies to public bodies. As soon as Royal Mail was privatised, they ceased to have any obligation to respond to FOIA requests

The Health and Safety department at the CWU has been involved in a Mental Health in the Workplace project with the employers for several years now.

They may have the figures you are after although they may not be allowed to divulge them depending on the business position and your reasons for requiring them.
You can only ask....

To contact the department: djoyce@cwu.org.

Would it possible to ask for FOI for details prior to privatisation. It should already be a matter of public record

Without a doubt stress is on the increase throughout all rm employees its just a pity that our employer doesnt recognise it.

Best way to reduce stress is to put it back on to the Managers, I turned from stressed to not giving a fvck by doing just that

can we still ask for information about us as individuals? regarding notes kept on record etc.

Different Legislation for that - Its the Data Protection Act - and it covers all Data not just digital or computerised data.
