Hi
Our local expert, Jenny, is on leave at the moment so I'll chip about Cambridge
where we undertake to *begin* an investigation within five working days and to
complete as soon as possible. This helps with the difficulties around gathering
information and talking to people and the time it can take.

Jan,
Here at Essex we do not publish or promise a time scale for investigating and/or
dealing with complaints of H & B but we do try to fast track such complaints.
Fortunately most of our complaints are dealt with informally to the satisfaction
of the clients.
Best wishes,
Syd.

Subject: Harassment and Bullying investigations
Dear colleagues
At Kingston University we have a fully comprehensive Dignity at Work and During
Study policy and fully trained harassment contacts. However we have come across
issues relating to alleged bulling investigation time scales. We advise that an
investigation will take place within seven working days but where witnesses, and
if there are many, aren't available etc, we are finding that investigations are
taking considerable time which creates further problems and in particular where
a Union has become involved.
I would be grateful if you could advise if you have had similar problems and if
you have set down agreed timescales when people will attend an interview and the
investigation to be completed within a specific timescale.
Regards
Jan Stow
Diversity and Equality Manager
