We are committed to providing a safe, respectful and inclusive working environment for all employees. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to harassment, discrimination, bullying, intimidation and abusive behaviour of any kind.
Harassment includes any unwanted conduct that violates a person's dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment. This may be verbal, non-verbal, physical, written or online, and may include inappropriate comments, jokes, gestures, unwanted physical contact, sexual advances, offensive language, threats, or behaviour related to a person's protected characteristics.
We expect all clients, customers, service users, contractors and visitors to treat our employees with respect at all times. Any report of inappropriate behaviour will be taken seriously and investigated.
Where concerns are substantiated, we may take appropriate action, including warning the individual, withdrawing services, terminating visits, refusing future work, or ending our working relationship with the person or organisation concerned.
