<p>Charities should be safe spaces for everyone; whether employees, volunteers or
members of the public. Abuse of any kind is abhorrent and charity leaders must take
a zero tolerance approach to misconduct and make sure proper protections are in place.</p><p>
</p><p>DCMS has funded research into bullying behaviours in the charity sector as
part of its Domestic Charity Safeguarding Programme. The report, launched on the 10
June, provides evidence on charity behaviours including case studies from whistleblowers.
It must be the start of tangible change in those charities whose workplace culture
does not currently reflect their values.</p><p> </p><p>Government’s involvement in
the research strengthens our commitment to charity safeguarding and safer charity
cultures and leadership. This is a commitment set out in the Civil Society Strategy.</p>
