The Report of the Expert Advisory Group on Workplace Bullying was launched and published by me on the 17th August 2005 and it follows on from a 2001 Report by the Taskforce on the Prevention of Workplace Bullying.

A recommendation contained in that Report was that a follow up survey on workplace bullying, similar to that commissioned for the 2001 report, be conducted as soon as practicable to establish a baseline from which the effectiveness of the new structures and processes would be measured. The ESRI, which won the contract, is still working on this survey which is expected to be completed by the end of February 2007. I have already given a commitment to publish the results.
