107. To ask the Minister for Social Protection the measures she has put in place, or will put in place, to ensure that FÁS scheme supervisors against whom complaints are made by scheme participants do not use their position to campaign against those who have made complaints against them, once the scheme participants have moved on to other employment, including instances where the company's website and Facebook have effectively been used to campaign against two former employees who made what I understand to be justified complaints.

In the first instance the issue the Deputy raises is a matter between the Community Employment (CE) Sponsoring Organisation (the legal employer) and the CE participants (employees). Participants in the situation described by the Deputy should communicate their concerns to the Sponsoring Organisation directly. If the matter is not resolved and further assistance is required, an approach should be made to the Department Official who oversees the programme at Divisional level. All CE Sponsoring Organisations are expected to uphold the dignity and respect of the individual and support every individual’s right to work in an environment which is free from any form of harassment, intimidation or bullying.
