Preventing and Dealing With Bullying and Harassment In NHSScotland PIN Policy

DescriptionThis NHSScotland PIN Policy aims to further the development of a culture of dignity at work, ensuring that staff can safely raise complaints relating to bullying and harassment, with processes in place conducive to their early and successful resolution. PIN Policies are developed nationally in partnership between NHSScotland employers, trade unions/professional organisations and Scottish Government. They set a minimum standard which Boards' local employment policies must either meet or exceed.
