Ok, this is not strictly about social work, but...

A policewoman was signed off work in Devon and Cornwall Police's domestic violence unit due to stress - and then appeared on an episode of the BBC's knock-out gameshow Total Wipeout, the Telegraph reports.

PC Lesley Hart took sick leave in late 2009 due to stress, which she attributed to the emotionally demanding nature of her work, excessive caseload, and lack of support from senior officers. She is apparently now suing the force for failing to support her to stay in her job.

How would you feel if your colleague was signed off due to stress and appeared on a gameshow? Comment below or on our forum, Carespace.
