The policy document, "A Positive Working Environment, An Anti-Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Bullying Policy for the Civil Service", which was launched last September and covers the Civil Service, has been circulated to all employees of my Department. There are no outstanding law cases regarding the issue of bullying by employees. Since 1 January 2000, one case was dealt with. My Department is not responsible for the introduction of legislation in this area.
