Just how much information should a prospective employer be allowed to have? Most mental health issues can quite easily be controlled and would not be a prohibitive factor in job performance.

Let us hope more countries follow suit.Cher Duncombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070334939399949702noreply@blogger.com
