<p>Bullying and harassment has no place in any workplace, including the Civil Service.
In our most recent People Survey, 11% of respondents, on average, told us that they'd
experienced bullying or harassment at work in the 12 months preceding the survey.</p><p>Whilst
this figure has remained stable since 2016, we recognise that certain groups of staff
are more likely 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.
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. 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>
