A place to start after a difficult day

Post-Incident and Trauma Support

For anyone in transport affected by a collision, fatality, workplace incident or something they cannot shake. You do not have to make sense of it all here.

Get urgent help when safety is at risk

Call 999 if there is immediate danger, a serious injury or a medical emergency. If you are struggling to cope, Samaritans can be reached on 116 123. DriverWell does not monitor this page and cannot provide an emergency response.

For right now

Keep it simple and take one kind step

Get somewhere safe. If the incident is still unfolding or anyone is in danger, use emergency services first.
Tell one person. A colleague, friend, family member, manager, union representative or someone else you trust can be a useful first contact.
Give yourself some space. You do not need to decide what the incident means or what happens next while you are still shaken.

DriverWell is rebuilding its detailed workplace pathway with appropriate clinical, legal, occupational-health and safeguarding review. That work should not stop you using the immediate support routes below.

Practical routes available now

Health and wellbeing

Contact a GP, NHS service or occupational-health professional for personal symptoms, treatment and fitness-for-work advice.

Legal and representation

Contact a union, solicitor or another qualified adviser before relying on information about statements, investigations, employment rights or liability.

Workplace response

Follow the employer's emergency and incident procedures. Managers should use competent health-and-safety, HR and occupational-health advice for individual decisions.

External support organisations

Open each organisation's own website for its current remit, contact options, availability and privacy terms.

Official workplace guidance

DriverWell provides general information and signposting. It does not diagnose trauma or PTSD, recommend treatment, determine legal rights, decide fitness for work or replace emergency, clinical, legal, occupational-health or employer procedures.
