The Council has set up a multidisciplinary group composed of the medical officer, examining doctor, welfare officer, psychologist, a member of the Careers and Development of Competencies Unit, a member of the Staffing and Mobility Unit and the Head of the Social Unit in order to prevent conflicts in the workplace and resolve individual professional problems at the written request of a member of staff.
