Report WORK PLACE BULLIES

Hi

Just to point out the excellent article in Nursery World this week. READ IT. My daughter is going through this at work now, she has lodged a formal grievance and consulted ACAS. I advised her to keep a diary since December last year, she has events, times and dates. Best thing to do, as it is extremely subtle and you need evidence to prove it. I know it is hard, we have cried together over the past couple of weeks, but she is hanging on in there and if we have to we will pursue it in the courts. But first you have to lodge a formal grievance in writing. A point worth noting if you are under 18 years your parent can intervene and register a concern because of the Children Act 1989. If this is happening in College then your parents must complain to the college and then to the LEA. They have to act as the Law says you are considered a child. Equally this applies in the workplace too and technically could be a child protection issue. Hope this helps but ACAS are brilliant - they have a help line you can phone and someone talks to you at the end who understands and knows the law. Stand up for what you believe in and don't let the bullies get away with it! Good luck!
