<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>
