This includes staff members with long-term limiting conditions who, in the vast majority of departments and agencies, were more likely to say they'd been bullied or harassed in the last 12 months than staff members with no long-term limiting conditions.</p><p>We are strengthening the routes for staff to report bullying and harassment to ensure that all staff are fully supported throughout the process, and to ensure cultures are positive and inclusive.</p><p>The high level People Survey results for each organisation, including reported rates of bullying and harassment, were published last December on gov.uk.</p><p>Each spring the Cabinet Office conducts and publishes a range of further analysis on the People Survey responses, including the results by gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and health status. Similar analysis will be conducted again this year and made available on gov.uk.</p><p>Civil Service People Survey 2017: results</p><p>Long-term health status is captured in the People Survey through questions J04 and J04A. J04 asks if the individual has a &quot;long-standing physical or mental health condition, illness, impairment or disability?&quot; and, if they answer yes, J04A asks whether their condition, illness or disability has an impact on their daily activity or the work they can do.</p><p>Results are aggregated in to two broad categories: &quot;No long-term limiting condition&quot;, combining those who answer No to either J04 or J04A; and, &quot;Long-term limiting condition&quot;, those who answer Yes to J04 and who answer that their condition limits what they can do either &quot;a little&quot; or &quot;a lot&quot; at J04A.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Answered “Yes” to the question “During the past 12 months have you personally experienced bullying or harassment at work?”</p></td><td><p>No limiting long-term illness</p></td><td><p>Has a limiting</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Department for Communities and Local Government</p></td><td><p>6%</p></td><td><p>19%</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 25/02/2019 16:17:34 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
