The Health Service recognises the right of all employees to be treated with dignity and respect and is committed to ensuring that all employees are provided with a safe working environment which is free from all forms of bullying, sexual harassment and harassment. The Dignity at Work Policy is based on the following three Codes of Practice:

The Health and Safety Authority's Code of Practice for Employers and Employees on the Prevention and Resolution of Bullying at Work;

The Work Place Relations Commission's (WRC) Code of Practice Detailing Procedures for Addressing Bullying in the Workplace; and

The Equality Authority's Code of Practice on Sexual Harassment at Work.

In relation to the specific query regarding the status of an individual dignity at work complaint, as this is an operational matter I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
