Question 404: To ask the Minister for Education and Science the procedures in place in institutes of technology to ensure that, should complaints of bullying and harassment be made against a member of senior management, the correct procedures and protocol are followed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Both the Employment Equality Acts 1998 to 2007 and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989 place obligations on employers to prevent harassment and ensure the health and safety of their employees in the workplace. Such policies are a matter for each institution in accordance with the requirements of the Institutes of Technology Act 2006. It is my understanding that all Institutes have formal procedures in place for dealing with all allegations of bullying and harassment.
