'No bullying culture,' personnel director claims

In an open letter to staff referring to recent media coverage, personnel director Chris Wilson says bullying can occur at any time in a large organisation.

But he reminds staff that the trust has a policy to support them. On no occasions would such behaviour be considered acceptable, he says.

"If you feel you are being bullied or harassed you should report this to your manager or, if this is not possible, to a senior member of the personnel department or your trade union representative.

"This may be a difficult step to take, but it is the only way any allegation like this can be exposed and dealt with.

"No-one has anything to fear from this policy – apart from the bullies and harassers themselves."
