<p>The number of bullying and harassment cases recorded against managers is not recorded
centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry
of Defence (MOD) takes bullying and harassment very seriously and will not tolerate
inappropriate behaviour of any nature. The Department is continually assessing and
identifying ways to improve the culture of the workplace, reduce tolerance of inappropriate
behaviour further, including bullying and harassment, and making it easier for staff
to report possible misconduct as well as providing more support to staff who have
experienced it, and providing more effective and quicker routes to resolution.</p><p>
</p><p>The MOD has introduced a ‘SpeakSafe Helpline’ offering MOD employees a safe
space to discuss issues relating to bullying, harassment and discrimination in the
workplace with experienced practitioners, outside of their immediate workplace, who
will offer advice and support. The SpeakSafe service is impartial and confidential,
allowing callers to remain anonymous, if they wish.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
