Bullying & Harrassment

Bullying and harassment remains a widespread problem in the creative industries. 

Bectu seeks to raise awareness of what constitutes unacceptable behaviour, to help prevent it from occurring. 

At the workplace bullying is an abuse of personal power or official authority. It can humiliate people, destroy their confidence, have a detrimental effect on their health and hit attendance and job performance. It can also damage careers in the long term. 

We also advise members and representatives on how to deal with it.

The purpose of the Creative Industries Independent Standards Authority (CIISA) is to uphold and improve standards of behaviour across the creative industries and to prevent and tackle all forms of bullying and harassment, including bullying and harassment of a discriminatory nature. 

A Bectu full-time officer should always be involved if it seems likely that a case will proceed to an employment tribunal.
