...eans police officers are unable to make a 'complaint' against colleagues. Although they now are able to report concerns to the IPCC, there is no right of appeal should a force decide not to investigate the allegations or cover up. Ultimately this leaves senior officers unnacountable and allows a culture of fear and bullying to exist which also extends to police staff. Feel free to e-mail me anytime. Best wishes Julian

Culture of bullying revealed at Sunday tabloid

Susan's ordeal is a prime example of how large organisations (which incidentally love to be seen promoting their "Equality & Diversity" programs, publicising their "Zero Tolerance" policies toward bullying and harassment) ALWAYS fall back to their old ways, COVER UP the facts, DENY anything took place , INTIMIDATE witnesses and make ...

Culture of bullying revealed at Sunday tabloid

Dear all I am an independent investigator of bullying and harassment in the workplace and have previously worked with the police. There are a number of issues of concern to me about the way police forces investigate these cases, apart from my concerns that poor management practice often allows bullying to continue unidentified. The police inv...

...s love to promote themselves and their "Anti Bullying" policies and campaigns. But when it comes to standing up and taking decisive action, they haven't got the balls to do so. I was the first one to advise my telecoms colleagues to join the CWU. My advice now is don't bother, they are a waste of space. All talk and no action. Save your Union fees, you might need this to engage a decent Solicitor if the need arises.

... Danny and very well done Sue! A major well done to those in Sue's case who saw through all the other side's whitewash and half truths to see the real issues. As regards Unison what can I say, I have seen it so many times where the Unions fail to support people as in Sue's case. For the sake of others I would hope that the media also focus on their inaction. Regards David

Brilliant news Susan. I have been awaiting this eagerly ! Well done for having the courage and determination to stand up for your rights. If people like you and the many others who have been subjected to this type of workplace bullying (yes, including me) did nothing, then these bullies and cowards would get away with this time and time again. How many more have not had the strength to carry this through ? My wife is battling Cancer and I have had an 18 month battle to get a Solicitor to take up my case. The...

Hi Paul Thank you for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated. Yes I was with the union. UNISON, however the did not support me and the latter part of your comment is reflective particularly in my case. I know I am not alone with this particularly within Cleveland Police. I myself am pursuing this matter.

Well done on winning your case, I admire your stance greatly, have read with interest the news coverage on this and hope you take full advantage of getting your story out in the public eye. Cleveland Police as any other police force are there to protect, when barriers break down and they choose to abuse positions by imposing bullying and harrassment as in your case it begs the question how these people record crimes when reportings of the sa...

...of or creating perceived inconsistances in statements to discredit individual etc. Standard giving of ' hard time ' to reduce victims confidence and make their grievence sound frivilous, petty or sour grapes and personal rather than an objective assessment of an insidiously coercive and bullying culture. How appalling do you want appalling to be ?

Culture of bullying revealed at Sunday tabloid

Thank you to all, one thing I cannot stress enough is not matter what, the tribunal panel we were lucky enough to have, could not have been nicer people, help bring some sense of 'normality' to a process which is in itself stressful for all concerned. No matter what the outcome, I feel some satisfaction that they in themselves helped both my husband and I through, also the witness. The respondent behaved appaullingly, the local media were at the tribunal and they rang me t...

... known" so they could retire to the shelter and take cover while the pooo storm blows over. Trouble is still seeing problems everywhere rather than "opportunities" to improve operational and or functional dynamics through being people centred and solution focused. "Wants" -v- "Needs" driven cultures never likely to work just a question of "when" not "if" it's going to come crashing down around their ears without a 'risk assessment' of the threat institutional behaviours pose to an organisation.... .

Hi all, tribunal in terms of hearing lasted 10days, respondent wanted a 15 day hearing but did not get his wish, terrible to go through, no wonder why people do not come forward, one of my witnesses dropped out largely due to a breavement but also due to intimidation that a work colleague he mentioned on his witness statement ...

Hi Susan, Let us all know when it's over. Those of us who have experienced similar institutionalised bullying are all too aware of the problem. There has been a lot of attention in the media concerning this subject over recent years, but still no effective remedial measures have been put into place. Why should you have to battle your case in front...

Danny, What a load of w**kers your co-workers were. I've come across a lot of jealousy over differences in pay. Some people are just looking to feel aggrieved, looking to find trouble and if they have a friend in HR who informs them of the new employee's pay, then beware! My job was quite different to the others in m...

... company for damages to my health and my career under the Protection from Harassment act 1997. The law needs to be changed. Too many HR departments side with the Bullies and too many large companies and organisations use the weak legal system in this country to get away with covering up a Bullying culture within their organisations. Managers all too often protect the Bullies as they are either too weak or they themselves are Bullies and close ranks to protect their interests. I have no doubt that the culture within the Police force, as you have unfortunately experienced, is the same as within the m...

... they just never seem to learn do they? It's as if all previous newspaper reports on other bullying incidents elsewhere just dont stay in their collective memory. Same with councils. And these two groups pay out millions per year in damages. I worked for management consultants and was always out of favour with one of the 2 bosses. I was bullied for 9 yrs, the last 6 being the worst. When it's Management who is doing the bullying there is nothing you can do, because HR is involved and none of the employees will raise their head above the parapet. In fact in the end some of them joined in in...
