Hi All, As a follow-up to this, it would be good to hear how many Bullying and Harassment/ Dignity and Respect Advisors your institution has (for how many staff) and how they were recruited. For example, were they interviewed, or did they complete an application form with a supporting statement by their manager etc? Warmest wishes, Caroline Dr Caroline Wallace Senior Partner – Equality, Diversity & Inclusion University HR Services, University of Edinburgh Charles Stewart House, 9-16 Chambers St Edinburgh, EH1 1HT Tel: 0131 651 4623 [AS_CMYK_Silver Award_300dpi] From: HEEON equal opportunities list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Rachel Jagger-Thomas Sent: 26 January 2016 17:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Bullying and Harassment/ Dignity and Respect Advisors Hi Julie We use face to face training with our Harassment Advisors, and work to offer a rolling programme of ongoing training to dig into more detail on specific topics in relation based on discussion with them. For us, the benefit of the face to face training is that it also offers a ‘touchpoint’ for the Advisors to meet up with fellow volunteers and feel more ‘connected’ to our central coordinator.

Or any other online learning for potential, or existing, members? Many thanks Julie On 20 January 2016 at 14:01, Julie Campbell <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Dear all At University of Sheffield we have had a small team of people drawn from across the University take up this role for a number of years. Over the last 12 months or so, there have been only a handful of people access the network, which seems to have been a fairly typical trend. One of our HR Managers meets with them on a quarterly basis, mainly for reflective learning, but they have also recently received a refresher coaching skills session, which followed some training workshops they had a few years ago. Despite there being little demand, we will continue with the network as it's an important resource for people. bw Julie On 15 January 2016 at 14:09, Kathryn Leighton <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Good afternoon As part of our Dignity and Respect Policy, we have a panel of fully trained Dignity and Respect Advisors, who undertake the duties below when requested, on a voluntary basis. The remit of the role is to provide advice and support to people who feel they may be experiencing bullying or harassment, and to people who are the subject of bullying or harassment allegations. They may also assist individuals in resolving an issue informally or in making a formal complaint. The idea is that they guide people on the policy, talk through their options with them and generally support them (e.g. attending meetings as a colleague). My questions are – • Do other Universities have this role and if so, do you find it is a well-used and useful resource for staff? • If you have had concerns or issues with this sort of role, would you be willing to provide me with more information? • If you decided not to have such a role, can you let me know what informal options are available to staff instead? We are just trying to make some decisions about the future direction of this role and it would be helpful to know what other universities do, so any information would be useful Kind regards Kathryn Leighton HR Manager – Diversity and Development University of Chester [cid:image001.jpg@01D0DBFB.91BCD410] -- ______________ Julie Campbell HR Manager (Equality and Diversity) Organisational Development Team Human Resources The University of Sheffield Tel. 0114 222 1499 Working Pattern: Monday, Thursday and Friday 9.30 to 3.00, Tuesday and Wednesday 9.30 to 5.00 [http://hr.dept.shef.ac.uk/New_Email_Signature.png] Log in to Juice via MUSE and discover what's new.
