View answerThere have been no allegations of bullying in my Department in any of the past five years, or to date in 2023.
The Civil Service has a robust Dignity at Work Policy that promotes respect, dignity, safety, and equality in the workplace and provides the framework for my Department to examine complaints of bullying, harassment and sexual harassment in the workplace, and sets out the proper processes and procedures to be followed.
