I had an HR manager who wanted to eliminate the Self referrals but I persuaded him otherwise. I looked at the number I had seen over the previous year as S/R and pointed out I had potentially saved x number people from going of sick.
I do have a procedure even for self referrals so we all understand what to expect. I nearly always persuade the individual to let me send a report to management because how can the organisation help them if they are unaware of the problem. Very occasionally there is nothing to be done but the individual needs someone to unburden to and happy to oblige if it helps.
If the reason for not wanting a report to go to management is because management is the problem then I get HR to deal with it with the individuals consent.
Happy to share procedure if you send me you email address.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Self referrals
Dear all,
The HR manager of organisation I currently work for has put together a proposal (without my input or consultation) to 'eliminate' self referral to OH. All referrals are to have management agreement and all referrals will require a report to be sent back from OH 'detailing the reason for attendnace and outcome'. Personally I think this has more than an element of control & smells strongly of bullying. What does everyone else think??
