The Mental Health Safe Project (MH Safe) has developed this page to help people understand inappropriate inquiries about someone’s mental health problem or disability, which may be illegal. To learn more about how to prevent these questions, click here to read MH Safe’s Prevent Inappropriate Inquiries Addendum
MH Safe contacts publishers of guidance that may recommend these types of questions to encourage them to remove potentially inappropriate recommendations to ask questions about someone’s mental health problem or conduct formal or informal exams attempting to ascertain these disabling impairments, as they may violate someone’s privacy and contravene disability laws and regulations.
We also conduct awareness campaigns to contact people who may be impacted by this published guidance.
