The Task Force on the Prevention of Workplace Bullying, which I set up last September, is composed of representatives of a number of Departments and State agencies who currently have an interest or involvement in the subject matter. Both IBEC and the ICTU are also represented on the task force.
In addition, the task force has accepted submissions from a wide range of interested groups and individuals on the subject of workplace bullying. These submissions were made directly to the task force and in the context of the eight country-wide workshops which were organised over the last five months. These submissions have greatly informed the work of the task force and have helped it to gain as broad a picture as possible of the situation. Participation in these workshops was open to all members of the public.
