I am reviewing our Harassment and Bullying Policy and Procedure and reporting back to our Equality & Diversity Committee.

I am sure this has come up in the past but can't remember when. Does anyone have a policy/procedures for Harassment and Bullying that state the role of the Equality & Diversity Advisor? (ie what kind of support can they give - other than as the coordinator for the contacts scheme).

We refer to the role of Harassment Contacts in our policy but there is nothing about the EDA role.

This relates to the remit of HR Business Partners who might be involved, and the cross-over with E&D. Also if you have anything specific about Union support, especially if it is a Union representative who is the 'alleged harasser' then that would be helpful too.

If you do cover this and you are willing to share your policy then that would be much appreciated.
