Anti-bullying policy

Nov 2007, Review Nov 2009

Everyone at Tigh a’Chomainn upholds an attitude of mutual respect and cultivate an atmosphere of care and social responsibility for each other at all times. Each co-worker, resident and employee is provided with information, training and supervision to enable them to recognise and know how to respond to bullying.

It is understood that disagreements will arise and that anyone may have periods of emotional upset. Appropriate methods of resolving problems through discussion are encouraged. At no time is taunting, name calling, threatening or the use of emotional or physical aggression acceptable. 

Any tendency toward bullying will be reported to a responsible senior co-worker so that help or guidance may be given. 

Tigh a’Chomainn promotes an anti-bullying attitude at all times. Consequently the relationship between co-workers, and their behaviour towards each other, provides an appropriate role model, free from inappropriate tendencies to discriminate, harass or degrade each other even in jest.
