The Department of Transport operates under the Department of Finance's 2000 policy document, A Positive Working Environment, which was amended in 2005. The document sets out, inter alia, the policy of the Civil Service on bullying. The document has been circulated to all employees. There are no outstanding law cases regarding the issue by employees. Three cases have been dealt with in the Department since 1 January 2000. The Department has no legislation dealing with bullying nor does it plan to introduce such legislation.
