At East Ayrshire Council we are committed to creating a workplace where all employees are treated with dignity, respect and acceptance. It is the Council’s intention to embed a culture that empowers employees to come forward with concerns. Our Dignity at Work Policy aims to ensure a harmonious working environment where employees:

• treat each other with dignity,
• respect each other’s right to express opinions, and
• do not bully, harass, victimise or discriminate against another employee through any type of demeaning behaviour.

East Ayrshire Council will not tolerate inappropriate conduct or behaviour and we encourage communication to prevent such behaviour.

As well as providing these sources of support the Employee Support and Report Hub enables employees to report incidents or behaviour of this nature and tell us what happened in a straightforward way, either anonymously or specifically. If you wish to report an incident please visit the “Report” tab above.

Please note that an incident between an employee and external party e.g. customer, service user, should be reported under the current SHE system. For more information contact your line manager or log an incident at SHE Assure System on the Intranet.

Below are details of where you can get information and support, should you feel you have experienced or witnessed inappropriate behaviour or treatment.
