Setting the standard for construction with the Mindflow Charter
The Mindflow Charter is a mental health standard for UK construction companies, built around 11 principles and developed with the University of Warwick. Register your company, earn a star rating, and show your people that their mental health matters as much as their safety.
Raising the bar for worker wellbeing with our Charter
The Mindflow Charter is a practical, measurable framework for mental health provision on construction sites — with a particular focus on publicly funded projects and the construction industry supply chain. Right now, support for workers is inconsistent. Whether someone receives help often depends on the contractor. The Mindflow Charter sets a clear benchmark, giving local authorities and clients a way to embed mental health expectations from the start.

Why it matters
Mental health in construction can no longer be left to chance or goodwill. Every working day, two construction workers take their own lives. The industry has one of the highest suicide rates in the UK, a stark reminder that support must be standard, not optional. By adopting the Mindflow Charter, organisations show they are serious about supporting their workforce and meeting the growing expectations of clients, regulators, and their own people. If you're a contractor, local authority or client interested in implementing the Mindflow Charter within your projects, complete the form below and a member of our team will be in touch.
The principles of the Mindflow Charter
The Mindflow Charter sets out principles for good mental health practice in construction, covering policy, leadership, culture and support. Each one is grounded in lived experience and industry consultation, and together they give every site a practical standard to work towards. See all the principles of the Mindflow Charter here.
