Our Harassment and Dignity Policy

Report - 3 October 2022

This policy is intended to provide help and support to Connected Together volunteers who feel that they have been denied the right to be treated with dignity and respect

This policy is intended to provide help and support to Connected Together volunteers who feel that they have been denied the right to be treated with dignity and respect and have suffered a detriment in relation to their right to lead their lives free from harassment, bullying, intimidation, coercion, victimisation, and unlawful/unfair discrimination. If a person feels they have been exposed to this type of behaviour, CTCIC will offer training where necessary and mediation for all parties.

Informal Actions

A board member or volunteer who believes they are being harassed or bullied is encouraged to make it clear to the person causing the offence that the behaviour is unacceptable and ask the person to stop doing it. If the volunteer does not have the confidence to deal with the situation on their own or would like to speak to someone in confidence about what is happening, it is suggested that they contact the volunteer lead or project lead for support or assistance.
