answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2019 answer text <p>Bullying and harassment has no place in any workplace, including the Civil Service.</p><p> </p><p>In the most recent People Survey, 11% of respondents, on average across the Civil Service, told us that they'd experienced bullying or harassment at work in the 12 months preceding the survey.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst this figure has remained stable since 2016, we recognise that certain groups of staff are more like to say they have experienced this type of unacceptable behaviour than others. 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> </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. HM Treasury has just published new Dispute Resolution and Discipline policies. The products have been designed to be more supportive and to promote a culture where people feel able to raise a concern, confident that they will be listened to and that their concerns will be taken seriously.</p><p> </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> </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> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 22/02/2019 13:50:18 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
